What Is The Recovery Time After Hernia Operation?
I just found out I have a hernia which their is a bulge on the left-side of my bladder ( the muscle ) it does not hurt, I am 58yrs old and am in a weight/cardio/stretching class here at the college I attend. I have no pain, can pee and have a bowel movement without a problem ( no blood or anything ) and have no pain walking no burning of the muscle, I don't feel sick and whenI lay flat thebulge goes down. The physision assistant told me I will need surgery andI have a Doctor's appointment june 26th. How long isthe recovery time I am a full-time student and my major classes startin the fall. after surgery can I do any light exercise without lifting weights. bob

you should follow the guidelines provided by a general surgeon. don't do heavy exercise and follow light simple exercises and core strengthening. if you can take guidance from a physical therapist it will surely help you and if you perform simple exercise pre surgery then post surgery you will recover faster and stronger.
