Patient's question:
Lower abdominal pain on the right side for half a month. The pain is aching and disappears when lying down. It protrudes after prolonged walking or standing. Is a hernia belt useful? I don't want to have surgery to relieve the pressure.Doctor's answer:
Regarding the condition you mentioned, it appears that the diagnosis indicates you have developed a hernia. In this case, you can first try using a hernia truss for treatment to see if it works. However, if the truss treatment is not effective and the hernia sac frequently slips off, it may become problematic if it worsens, as it could lead to a re-occlusion of the hernia, which would be very troublesome. In such cases, surgical treatment should be considered.Actually, suffering from a hernia is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the condition. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
