Had left side indirect inguinal hernia surgery last June and now getting back into weightlifting and core exercises. Is it safe to start or could this increase the risk of the hernia coming back?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it's generally safe to resume weightlifting and core exercises after hernia surgery, especially after a laparoscopic repair, but it's crucial to do so gradually and under the guidance of your surgeon. Starting too soon or with improper technique could increase the risk of recurrence or complications.

My mom is 66 years old and has been diagnosed with umbilical hernia and incisional hernia. She's 5'2¬ù and weighs around 83 kg. She's currently on thyroid meds and has had past surgeries like C-section, thyroid, liver abscess, varicose veins, and knee surgery. We saw two doctors one suggested hernia repair with abdominoplasty, while the other recommended open hernia repair using mesh and advised weight loss before surgery since she's overweight. I'm confused about which approach is better for her given her medical history and weight. What would you recommend for her case?
Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

I've been dealing with this persistent issue on my left hip. There was a wound with pus, and the abscess drained by itself at first, but then it came back. It's been going on for about three months now. Initially, a general medicine doctor treated it by cutting it open and removing the pus. It healed over 30 days, but the pus has started to form again. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening and what my next steps should be?
Consider consulting a specialist, such as general surgeon, for further evaluation and treatment, as the recurring abscess may indicate an underlying issue, such as a fistula, infected cyst, or underlying bone infection, which may require antibiotics, surgical drainage, or other interventions
