Does a Bad Hernia Mesh Surgery Dampen Your Sex Life After the Surgery?

Does a Bad Hernia Mesh Surgery Dampen Your Sex Life After the Surgery?

People who undergo an inguinal hernia repair can experience a waned sex life after the surgery. This is because of the way that a repair mesh does or does not allow your body to heal after the surgical procedure to repair the hernia. For example, in studies on the issues, if the patient after the hernia repair surgery has a higher level of awareness of a groin lump or groin discomfort, it can seriously affect the individual’s ability to enjoy a healthy sexual life after the hernia surgery.

Does the Use of Lightweight Mesh Products Aid in the Result of a Better Sex Life After the Surgery?

This answer depends on many factors, and each hernia patient’s recovery is different than the next. If a lightweight hernia mesh product is used to repair a hernia, there is a chance that there will be lower levels of discomfort with a lightweight mesh used in a groin hernia repair. But if there is a defect or damaged area of the mesh, then all bets are off again, and there can be serious complications related to the recovery of a person with this type of hernia surgical procedure. In one way, if there is less pain experienced after a surgical procedure for repairing a hernia mesh, then the individual with the repaired hernia may have a better opportunity to enjoy a “normal” or pain free sex life after the surgery.

What Is “Normal” Pain to Be Experienced After a Hernia Mesh Surgical Procedure?

If individuals who have a hernia mesh procedure get a failed hernia mesh, then they will have little chance but to have a failed healing after the surgery is over. This means that if you have a successful hernia mesh surgery, you have a good chance of getting your old sex life back. You can in some cases even have a better sex life, but the terms and conditions of that new sex life will be based on a number of outside variables beyond the scope of this article.

In general though, if you have a failed hernia mesh product, it can seriously impact your ability to recover quickly and effectively for a hernia repair surgery. If you experience more groin symptoms after the surgery, then that hernia mesh product may have been defective.

Some People Are Uncomfortable Bringing Up Concerns Related to Their Sex Life with Their Primary Care Providers or Healthcare Workers

If a person schedules a hernia repair surgery and has the hernia mesh surgical procedure, it can later affect that person’s sex life. Many times, people are hesitant to bring up this issue with their doctor or surgeon after the hernia repair operation.
