Patient's question:
Abdominal hernia occurred, with a bulge on the left side. What caused it, and how should it be treated? What should be done first when visiting the hospital? MRI, CT, or maybe an ultrasound? What medications should be taken?Doctor's answer:
The most common type of hernia is an inguinal hernia, where the peritoneum doesn't cover the intestines, and a small part of the intestines slips through the gap between the peritoneum. This is quite common, and it can be fixed with a small surgery at the hospital. It doesn't require any detailed tests—just go to the hospital, see a surgeon, and they'll feel around a bit to diagnose it.In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients should also pay attention to care, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients need to be careful about choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure good results.
