Patient's question:
For a hernia check-up, my abdomen has been slightly swollen these days. This is because, when I was young, my mother told me that I might have had an inguinal hernia surgery. Now, I'm worried that these diseases might recur, and it's quite concerning. May I ask about the procedure for a hernia check-up?Doctor's answer:
Inguinal hernia is usually referred to as an inguinal hernia, which is formed when abdominal contents protrude through the inguinal canal. Most patients experience a lump in the groin area when standing or engaging in strenuous exercise, which disappears when lying down or after pressing. It can usually be diagnosed through an ultrasound examination. Patients should promptly seek medical attention at a reputable public hospital to identify the cause, receive treatment under expert guidance, and be advised to rest more. It is recommended to drink more water, pay attention to rest, avoid exposure to wind, and consume less spicy, irritating, and overly greasy food.
