Patient's question:
I had a hernia for a while, and I had surgery in the first half of this year. After the surgery, I had pain, which I thought was a wound pain. Now I often have bloating, and the disease flares up with very painful pain, needing rest. I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
According to your consultation content analysis, you have undergone surgery for inguinal hernia over a year ago. Postoperatively, you have been experiencing pain, which you initially thought was due to wound pain, suspecting a recurrence of the disease. The first step is to determine whether it is indeed a recurrence of the inguinal hernia, as surgical scars can sometimes also cause pain and discomfort. If you originally underwent traditional surgical methods, elderly patients are more prone to recurrence. Once a recurrence occurs, there is no other option but to undergo a second surgery. It is best to use tension-free repair methods, as the use of a mesh can significantly reduce the recurrence rate. There are many treatment methods for urology, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic methods employed will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
