After An Inguinal Hernia Surgery,when Can Alcohol Intake Be Resumed?
Question: I had inguinal hernia surgery 5 days ago. When can I resume having a beer or wine with my dinner?
Brief Answer:
No restrictions!!! Good luck.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
Good news for you. I do consider beer or wine with dinner in any way detrimental to your health or surgery. However, it should be in moderation, and not in excess. Only thing you should avoid is lifting any heavy weight for some time. Good luck.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.

How long before the healing is complete, and I can resume my normal activities: golf, skiing, ice skating, etc., as well as lifting reasonable weights?
Thanks, XXXXXXX
Thanks, XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
Six months would be a reasonable gap.
Detailed Answer:
Hi John! Good morning.
It is advisable that you give at least six months time to go for any kind of heavy work, or any kind of games which will increase your intra abdominal pressure significantly. However, I would always advise you to take opinion of the surgeon who operated on you, as he would be the best judge of your physical fitness for these games and activities on the spot.
Good luck.
