Hi.
Thanks for your query for your partner and an elucidate history.
No, this is not normal to have frequency of urination and diarrhea after hernia or any surgery for that matter.
I would advise the following:
Get the urine checked: Routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
Get blood counts, blood sugar checked.
To get stool checked.
If there is evidence of infection in urine and/or stool appropriate antibiotic may be started/ added / changed to.
Adding pre and probiotics is necessary.
If there is associated medical problem like diabetes or so, must be checked up and treated properly.
I hope this answer helps to get an early diagnosis and proper treatment.
