I had inguinal hernia surgery back in December 2018 and now I'm thinking of joining the gym. What kind of precautions should I take while working out to avoid any issues?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After inguinal hernia surgery, it's important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least 4-6 weeks to allow proper healing. When you are ready to return to the gym, start slowly and gradually increase your intensity. Avoid exercises that put strain on the surgical site, such as abdominal crunches, sit-ups, and exercises that involve heavy lifting or high impact

View allI'm really worried about my mom as shes been diagnosed with a hernia. Who should we talk to for this, and is there any way to manage a hernia without having to go through surgery? Just trying to explore all options.
For a hernia problem, you should consult a General Surgeon. Surgery is the most effective treatment for hernias, but in some cases, a truss or supportive garment may be recommended to help manage the hernia without surgery. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action based on the specific type and severity of the hernia.
