Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When Can I Start Horse Riding After Having Inguinal Hernia Surgery?
Yes I had rite side inguinal hernia surgery on jan 4th 2012, I would like to start horseback riding while wearing extra support in the area that I had surgery on. I have no pain as of Jan. 15th 2012. I have been to the gym and having lite workouts. I havent had to take any pain medicine, and I havent had any swelling just bruising.
Hi, Now enough time is passed of hernia surgery. But it is advisable to avoid horse riding as during this riding there is pressure on inguinal ring and operated site might have risk of recurrence of hernia even net is put as extra support. Avoid heavy exercises as well when there is increased intra-abdominal pressure again produce risk. Ok and take care.
