Patient's question:
Since getting a hernia, my stomach has started to have some problems. It's either indigestion or diarrhea, and it often hurts. It's quite disruptive to my work. Sometimes, even while discussing business with clients, it starts to recur. I want to find a chance to get treated. Is hernia treatment better with traditional Chinese medicine or surgery?Doctor's answer:
For hernia, the most effective treatment method is to decide on surgical intervention. It is necessary to pay attention to postoperative care, be aware of the possibility of recurrence, and if oral medication is ineffective, even using a hernia belt locally for fixation may only be a proper decision. Local fixation and preventive measures for acute recurrence cannot achieve effective treatment goals. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to appropriate local repair, even using a mesh for repair.
