Patient's question:
My little brother has intestinal gas. The doctor said it's okay to take a patch for it. But I know this has a time limit. I'm very worried. Can intestinal gas be treated without a patch?Doctor's answer:
The condition may be an inguinal hernia. It is characterized by a lump in one side of the groin or scrotum. Inguinal hernias in adults are caused by weakness and defects in the abdominal wall. Surgery is often required to fully repair it. The surgery can involve tension-free mesh repair of the inguinal canal. This is a sterile nylon mesh. It is not absorbed after surgery to prevent recurrence of intestinal gas. Drink more water. Rest more. Eat less spicy, irritating, and greasy food.
