Hello doctor. Doctor, I had an inguinal hernia surgery 2 months ago, but recently I have felt a sharp pain in the surgical area. When I press lightly, the pain gets stronger. So, doctor, can you tell me if this is dangerous? Thank you!

While the COVID-19 epidemic is complicated and contact with infection needs to be minimized, many people are very interested in the new surgical service that allows patients to go home the same day at Vinmec Central Park Hospital (HCMC). To provide full information about this surgical method to help patients choose the right treatment, we had a conversation with Master - Doctor Do Minh Hung, Head of Vinmec Central Park Surgery Department.

Inguinal hernia is a condition in which abdominal organs protrude through the inguinal opening, a weak point in the abdominal wall. The disease can be acquired or congenital. When suffering from inguinal hernia, the most effective treatment is surgery. Patients can undergo open surgery or laparoscopic surgery depending on each case. However, laparoscopic surgery has more advantages.
