How long does it take to walk after surgery?


Dedicated to your healing journey.
Patients with hydrocele usually walk properly within 1 to 2 days after surgery, but the specific time varies from patient to patient.
Patients with better physical fitness and better daily health may recover relatively quickly and walk earlier; patients with weaker body or other underlying diseases may need more time to recover and walk accordingly. The
method of surgery also affects the time to walk after surgery. Traditional open surgery is relatively traumatic and may take a longer time to recover. Minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic surgery has a relatively small impact on the body and patients may be able to start walking earlier. The
degree of pain after surgery will affect the patient's willingness and ability to walk. If the pain is severe, patients may not dare to walk prematurely. The doctor will give appropriate analgesic treatment according to the pain situation to relieve the pain and promote the patient's activity.
Attention is needed to determine when to walk, and the doctor's professional assessment and advice should be followed. The doctor will consider the patient's various conditions and make the judgment that is most suitable for the patient. Walking too early may affect recovery, and walking too late is not conducive to recovery of physical functions.
