Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear this. A hernia is actually due to weakness in the muscles that make up your abdominal and pelvic boundaries. Most surgeons put a mesh or close and repair this. If the hole is large, or the patient picks up heavyweights, isn't careful with postures, etc then this hole reopens hence hernia recurs. But if you don't treat it will grow bigger.
You can lift less weights and maintain good posture and follow postop exercises and care given by doctor. As for pain, this shouldn't cause longterm pain.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best General Surgeons in karachi and seek in-person advice.
