Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling stomach pain for a while. I thought it was because I ate something bad, so I didn't take it seriously at first. I took some painkillers, but they didn't help, so I went to the hospital. After the check-up, the doctor said it was a hernia. I'd like to know how hernias are treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is abdominal pain. Hospital examination was diagnosed as an inguinal hernia, which is a common disease in general surgery. Abdominal hernias include inguinal hernias, abdominal incisional hernias, linea alba hernias, and parastomal hernias. The occurrence of abdominal hernias is mainly related to weak points in the abdominal wall and increased intra-abdominal pressure. Active surgical treatment should be carried out, and factors that increase intra-abdominal pressure should be avoided, such as coughing, bending, lifting heavy objects, and constipation, etc.
