What Are the Benefits of Hernia Surgery
Is your hernia causing you discomfort, pain, or other symptoms? At Hernia Clinic Hampshire, we aim to free you from discomfort, improve your quality of life and get you back to doing the things that matter to you.
If you are considering hernia surgery, we’d like to help you understand the benefits of private hernia surgery.
At Work
Working with a hernia can become a challenge. If lifting is a part of your job and the hernia is not repaired, it can soon prevent you from working. With NHS wait times as they currently are, with reports of patients waiting over 1 year, going private means that your operation can be sooner, and you can begin your recovery time sooner, too. This reduces the length of time that you are unable to work, critical for those that are self-employed.
At Home
Simple tasks become, literally, a pain. Hernias are limiting – previously simple tasks such as gardening, shopping or for some, playing with children and grandchildren become impossible. While the process of having surgery can be painful, in the long run, going private with the Hernia Clinic Hampshire, gets your recovery started sooner than if operated on with the NHS.
At Play
The leisure activities that keep us young at heart become too painful when waiting for a hernia. While gentle exercising when you are waiting can help improve the chances of a good recovery, exercise routines need to change. No longer is lifting weights sensible, or any strenuous activity. Even golf can be problematic. Private surgery to repair your hernia allows you to get back into those activities you love quicker than waiting for NHS surgery.
How Will Private Hernia Surgery Improve My Quality of Life?
Choosing to repair your hernia can help improve your quality of life by improving your symptoms and stopping the hernia from getting worse.
Worsening symptoms can include aching/discomfort, increased pain, the inability to do certain activities, and the possibility of the hernia becoming difficult or impossible to reduce.
Repairing your hernia means stopping it from negatively affecting your life, alleviating discomfort and minimising the risk of it reoccurring.
Proven Results
At 8 weeks post-surgery, nearly all of our patients surveyed have reported improvements, with little to no pain/discomfort or problems with mobility or doing their usual activities, compared to before their repair.*
8 weeks is still very early in the wound remodelling phase, so symptoms continue to improve after this time.
It is also worth noting that some of our patients have significant medical problems that will impact their activity levels post hernia surgery, which is why we do not see 100% improvement.
At Hernia Clinic Hampshire, we continuously strive to better understand our patients’ needs and work with them to achieve high quality care and excellent results.
We will reactivate your life and get you back to your work or sports, back in the garden or watching the grandkids – we’ll get you back to the things that matter.
