Hernia Recovery Chart
Although this chart was compiled based on the average recovery for many hernia patients, each person will recover differently.
The most important aspect of recovery is to listen to your individual body:
- if it hurts - stop,
- if it’s sore - ice it, and
- If still sore - take a day off.
Also, keep in mind that it’s not uncommon for patients to feel pulling, tugging, aches, burning, heaviness, swelling, occasional sharp pains, and overall ‘discomfort’ for weeks to months after hernia surgery.
Sexual activity can be resumed when it is comfortable to do so.
