After umbilical hernia surgery, there is a chance of the hernia recurring, but it is very rare. Generally, umbilical hernia surgery is quite successful, and once healed, the likelihood of the hernia returning is low. After surgery, you should take care of a few important things: Follow the doctor's specific instructions: You must strictly adhere to the precautions and guidelines provided by your doctor. Be aware of warning signs: After surgery, you should know what signs to look for, especially if you engage in improper activities like lifting heavy weights or overexerting yourself. Healthy diet: Eating a healthy diet is also important, as it helps keep your immune system strong. Exercise: Exercise should be done cautiously, and avoid any heavy or strenuous physical activity until the time specified by your doctor. Stay in touch with your doctor and follow their recommendations. Regular check-ups: After surgery, you should go for regular check-ups as per your doctor’s instructions and stay alert to any serious problems. |
