Doctor's answer:
Hello, the formation of a hernia occurs when some normal tissues or organs in the human body move away from their original position through defects, weaknesses, or pores that are either congenital or acquired. Taking abdominal wall hernias and inguinal hernias as examples, the factors that cause the formation of abdominal wall hernias include the following two points: 1. Weakness of the abdominal wall caused by various congenital or acquired factors; 2. Increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by certain triggers.Advice: It is recommended that if a pediatric hernia is not painful in the early stages, it can be wrapped with a hernia belt. If an incisional hernia forms, it will cause pain, and the intestines may become necrotic. After the age of three, surgery is required to perform a hernia repair.
