I've had an inguinal hernia for 6 years and finally decided to go for open surgery - will it be very painful afterwards and what kind of anesthesia is usually used for this procedure? Also wondering about the surgery timing and where exactly they make the incisions - is it just one cut or multiple?

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?
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.

Ive been dealing with this perianal abscess for around 20 days now. I was put on Uniclav 625 and have been applying Shield ointment for about 15 days. The abscess has started draining on its own partially, so Im wondering if I should keep using the Shield ointment on it. Also, are there any side effects if I use this ointment for a longer period?
