How to reduce intra-abdominal pressure?

Patient's question:

My child has high abdominal pressure and has developed an hernia. Lowering the abdominal pressure can treat the hernia. How can it be relieved?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, the initial consideration of reducing abdominal pressure cannot treat a hernia. A certain amount of pressure in the abdomen can maintain a constant intra-abdominal pressure. The main cause of a hernia is weak abdominal muscles. On this basis, if abdominal pressure is elevated for a long time, it is easy to worsen the hernia. Therefore, your condition should avoid increasing abdominal pressure, such as prolonged coughing or constipation, which are likely to cause increased abdominal pressure. Try to control suffocating gas.
