Hernia Post Operative Care
Going through any surgery can be an emotionally and physically taxing phase and hernias are no exception. But what is even more important is the postoperative care after hernia surgery. Once you have undergone a successful surgery, it is important to take care of your health and ensure that you follow every instruction given by your doctor for the postoperative care.
There are a number of things to remember after your surgery like having a swelling at the surgical site is a common occurrence after the procedure and you need not worry exceptionally for the same. Even an abdominal bloating is a common observation in patients who are recovering after a successful surgery for a hernia.
One of the things your doctor will tell you when giving instructions about post-operative care for hernia is that you may occasionally see bruises or different skin colours during the healing process. This is normal and nothing to panic about. Also, if you find any swelling in the genital area and / or there is a fluid retention which feels like a lump, do not worry. These signs generally occur post the hernia surgery. All you need is to apply cold compress every time this occurs over the first few days at home. And you will see things improving pretty soon.
Apart from these symptoms that occur for the first few days, you also need to take care of the surgical site as part of your post-operative care of hernia. Your doctor will most likely inform you when you can take a shower, once you are back home. If they do not, make sure to ask them. It depends on the way your incision has been drained.
In case your incision has been closed by means of glue, you can take a bath from the same day. However, if you have a bandage covering your incision, your doctor would ask you to keep it dry. So, you must avoid showering for at least 3 – 4 days. You can take a bath post that, but make sure that the wet bandage is not kept on your incision as it can lead to infections. Remove it and replace with a fresh and dry dressing.
Another very important thing to keep in mind during post-operative care for hernia is to keep your activities at a minimum, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor. This does not mean you should not have any exercise. You need to keep moving your body and carry out some light activity as that helps in improved blood circulation and faster healing. However, do not undertake any strenuous activity.
There are a lot of things the doctor or hospital will tell you about inguinal hernia surgery post-operative care. Here is a ready list of things that are a must during your recovery period
Just like medicines, rest and exercise, another very important component of your comprehensive post-operative care for inguinal hernia is the diet that you will be consuming.
For an infant, it is advised to resume oral feeds when they wake up after the effect of the anesthesia wears off. The only thing to monitor is that their respiration has stabilized.
For grown up children and adults, you will typically be given a diet chart to be followed by your doctor or diet consultant. It is good to consume fresh fruits and vegetables and as much as possible take in fluids. This helps in avoiding the bloating that some patients may feel as well as preventing constipation.
The entire process of preparing for and undergoing a surgery can be stressful for anyone. After the surgery is over, it is always better to spend the recovery period at home. The familiar environment and the support of family members can help you recover much faster. However, you still need the expertise of specialists during this period. This is where we come in.
