Postoperative diet arrangement is very important for the recovery of hernia operation. Different anesthesia methods have different requirements for eating time. This article will introduce you in detail the diet arrangement and recovery precautions after hernia surgery.

Anesthesia affects eating time.

Different anesthesia methods have different requirements for eating time. If local anesthesia is used, normal diet can be restored within a few hours after operation; If spinal anesthesia is used, it is best to wait 12 hours or wait until the intestinal cavity recovers peristalsis (exhaust) before eating; However, it takes a long time to restore intestinal peristalsis after general anesthesia, and it usually takes 24 hours to restore diet.

The wound needs time to heal.

In order to accelerate wound healing, avoid bleeding and recurrence, try to meet the needs of children and reduce crying. It usually takes about 3 months for the wound to recover more firmly.

Digestible food helps to recover.

In terms of diet, it is recommended to give digestible and nutritious liquid and semi-liquid foods, such as mung bean soup, honeysuckle dew, cereal soup, porridge, noodles, dragon beard and egg noodles. At the same time, avoid greasy, ginger, pepper, mushrooms and other irritating foods and hair. In addition, drinking more boiled water is helpful to the recovery of the body.
