Is mild alcohol safe 7 weeks post inguinal hernia surgery?

Can I drink mild alcohol after inguinal hernia surgery 7 weeks?

Answered on 15th Jan '25

After surgery for an inguinal hernia, it's generally safe to consume mild alcohol seven weeks post-operation, provided you feel well and have no complications. Alcohol can affect healing if consumed excessively, leading to dehydration or gastrointestinal issues, which may hinder recovery. If you experience any unusual symptoms like increased pain, swelling, or nausea after drinking, it's wise to stop and consult your healthcare provider. Always listen to your body and prioritize your wellness.

Injury in fort in 1 month but not tetanus injection

Female | 47

If the injury happened about a month ago and you did not take a tetanus shot, which is why you are worried now, here is what you need to know: Tetanus is an infection caused by bacteria entering the cuts. Tingling and difficulty breathing might be the symptoms of tetanus. If it has been more than 10 years since you received your last tetanus shot, getting one is the safest option in case of any complications. The process is simple and the results are effective.

I had my gallbladder operation in the year 2021 .Why I am having sharp needle like pain after drinking hot milk tea for 21 days .Near the incision area I have red swelling.

Female | 65

This could be a case of surgical site infection. Usually, this happens after surgery where there is an incision made thereby causing redness as well as swelling around where you were cut. It might help if you keep that place dry after cleaning it every once in a while but try not to touch too much or else there might be more pain. Make sure to visit your doctor so they can figure out what else needs to be done about this.

bitten by dog , Please help me doctor Fast

Male | 25

When you have a dog bite, the area may hurt, swell, and turn red which could also bleed occasionally. Clean the wound softly with clean water and mild soap because it’s important after which you apply some antibiotic ointment or cream then cover with a dry sterile cloth or adhesive bandages. Make sure you visit a doctor for some checkups to ensure everything is okay since there might be more treatment needed like a tetanus shot among others.

Who are the best laparoscopic surgeons in Dubai?

Female | 36

For the application of laparoscopic surgery, the most important criterion is to choose a doctor who knows how to follow safety rules and take care of the patient. For the most part, a minimally invasive approach is good to go in situations such as gallbladder problems, hernias, or pain in the abdomen. The symptoms are usually related to discomfort, bloating, or changes in digestion. Find well-known doctors with substantial experience in this field so that they can guarantee you sound treatments by their expertise. I propose that a competent health professional guide you.

I have a cut injury please help what should I do in this injury

Female | 28

You may observe red and swollen areas, pain, and bleeding. First off, wash the cut with soap and water in a careful way. Next, press a clean piece of cloth against the cut to stop the bleeding. Ultimately, cover it with a bandage for protection. Watch for signs of infection, which are usually redness, heat, or pus, and report them. However, if it looks infected, get treatment right away. Take care and be well!

Hello, I was pricked by a needle in my finger and there was a little bleeding, so will I have to get a tetanus injection or not?

Male | 21

Got pricked by a sharp needle? Bleeding? You might need a tetanus shot. Dirt can harbor bacteria that cause tetanus, which enters through cuts and wounds. Symptoms include stiff muscles and spasms. A tetanus shot can prevent the illness. Consult with a doctor to be safe.

I was taking drugs by injection unfortunately it was miss by vains I got pain and swelling in that place.what should I do

Male | 26

Pain and swelling after a misplaced injection are common, similar to how your knee swells after an injury. The needle may have injured a nerve or tissue, causing the discomfort. You can apply a cold pack to reduce swelling and take a painkiller for relief. If the pain and swelling persist or worsen, see a doctor.
