Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Hernia Treatment
Still have concerns? Here are answers to the questions most patients ask before deciding on hernia surgery.
What causes a hernia?
A hernia is caused by a combination of muscle weakness and strain. Anything that increases pressure on the abdomen can contribute to a hernia, including:
-
Chronic coughing or sneezing
-
Lifting heavy objects without proper technique
-
Straining during bowel movements or urination
-
Obesity
-
Pregnancy
-
Fluid in the abdomen (ascites)
Some people are born with weak abdominal muscles, making them more susceptible.
What exactly is a hernia? Is hernia surgery safe?
Yes. Hernia surgery is one of the most common and safe surgical procedures. With minimally invasive techniques, most patients recover quickly and return to daily activities within a few weeks.
How do I know if I need hernia surgery?
Not all hernias require immediate surgery, but they will not heal on their own. If your hernia is painful, growing, or affecting your lifestyle, surgery is usually recommended. Dr. Daniel will assess your condition and advise the safest option.
What is the recovery time for hernia surgery in Singapore?
Most patients go home the same day or the next after surgery. Recovery time depends on the type of repair, but many patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks and resume normal life in 4–6 weeks.
Will the hernia come back after surgery?
What happens if I delay treatment?
How much does hernia surgery cost, and is it covered by insurance?
