Can hernias cause weight gain?

Haan na, actually hernia itself doesn't cause weight gain, but because of the pain, we stop doing exercise and our daily walk, right? That lack of movement can lead to gaining a little weight. Pls talk to your doctor once to see what light movements you can do safely.

No, a hernia doesn't directly cause weight gain, but increased body weight can actually make a hernia worse by putting pressure on the abdomen. Managing my diabetes has taught me that diet control is crucial when physical activity is limited due to a health issue. Consult your doctor for a safe diet plan.

I understand your concern completely. While home remedies can't cure a hernia, eating light, fiber-rich foods helps prevent constipation, which reduces abdominal pressure and prevents weight gain from inactivity. Please consult your surgeon to address the hernia properly before starting any diet or exercise.

I am quite new to learning about hernias, but I was wondering if the swelling itself can make someone look like they have gained weight? Or is it purely due to resting more? I hope you can get a doctor's opinion to help clarify this.

Hey, don't worry too much! A hernia doesn't directly cause you to gain weight, but the recovery period or fear of pain might make you less active, which does. Just keep a check on your portion sizes and consult your doctor about what mild walks you can do.

It was so frustrating for me when I couldn't move around due to my hernia and felt my body changing and gaining weight. The emotional toll of not being able to stay active is very real. Please be gentle with yourself and speak to a doctor about a safe treatment plan to get your mobility back.
