How to deal with the pain of a hernia that has been present for many years?

Patient's question:

Hernia has been around for over thirty years. I didn't feel much before, but just yesterday I started feeling severe pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor recommended minimally invasive surgery. However, I'm not sure about the type of mesh they will use. Could you please tell me what kind of mesh is good and what the price is?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the recovery probability for inguinal hernia is low if it occurs below one year of age. It can be triggered by conditions that increase abdominal pressure, such as constipation and coughing. Prolonged recurrence and weakening may lead to adhesion, incarceration, or even strangulation, with the latter posing a life-threatening risk. Currently, minimally invasive treatment is less painful and promotes faster recovery. In most cases, a patch is used. The cost varies by region. For patients, if the urological condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary to prevent recurrence. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers above can help everyone. Thank you.
