What should I do if I have a genital hernia?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 28 years old this year. In daily life, I have always been very disciplined in my private life and have not had casual relations with others. But recently, I have been experiencing discomfort in my lower abdomen. After going to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was a genital hernia. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The main treatment method is to determine whether surgery is necessary for rescue. It is also necessary to pay attention to preventing heavy lifting, as well as vigorous exercise, including running and jumping, and various situations that can cause an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. If the condition progressively worsens again, it is recommended to decide on surgical rescue as soon as possible. After surgery, it is also necessary to pay attention to proper nursing to prevent recurrence. The 6 months after a hernia surgery are a high-risk period.
