Can A Person Lead A Normal Life After A Surgery For Umbilical Hernia?
Hello, I was diagnosed with umbilical hernia and minor diastasis recti , due to my lifestyle it seems that it really bothers me, so I want to know after the surgery will I be able with my usual daily activities, I mean my typical lifestyle, will I be able to workout like before... push ups , pull ups, abs jogging,cycling etc... I know it takes time to heal, but after that can I be back to full training routine?

Hello
Thanks for query.
You can have your normal life after surgery for umbilical hernia .However it is better to restrict activities that increase the intra abdominal pressure like heavy Wt lifting and ,exercises that stretch abdominal pressure to avoid recurrence.
