    After hernia surgery, particularly in the early stages of recovery, it’s not unusual to feel some discomfort or strange feelings. To rule out any complications or problems with the mesh repair, persistent pain or discomfort that lasts past a certain point needs to be discussed with your surgeon or medical professional. In order to help you rebuild strength and ease discomfort, physical therapy might be helpful if your surgeon deems that it is safe to do so. It might take time for the body to heal following surgery, and discomfort is usual while recovering. Be kind to yourself and adhere to the advice of your medical professional. I sincerely hope your pain lessens soon so you can resume your busy way of life.

  • Hello,
    With relation to hernia surgery, especially open procedures like Shouldice, I entirely understand your worries and anxieties. It’s very normal to experience anxiety before having surgery. Several individuals have faced similar difficulties and overcame their worries to receive the necessary surgery. Take the time to first properly look into the procedure, its success rates, and any potential side effects. It can be beneficial to express your worries and fears to loved ones, who may also comfort and console you. Exercises that increase breathing can help lower anxiety. Regular practice of these methods can also be advantageous before surgery. Consider speaking with a mental health professional or counselor if the stress is unbearable. Your BMI is suitable for the Shouldice operation, which has a solid reputation and a track record of success
