Patient's question:
My grandfather has had something protruding from the area of his inner thigh for three years. However, when lying flat, it can retract back in. It feels soft and doesn't hurt much when touched. But when it does hurt, it hurts badly. When he went to the hospital, the doctor said it was a hernia. The hernia treatment, called the non-invasive four-ring herniorrhaphy, claims it can be cured without medication. Is this reliable?Doctor's answer:
For hernia, the main treatment method is to decide on surgical intervention, including local repair surgery and other surgical procedures. Specifically, it requires integrating clinical diagnosis, and it is important to pay attention to removing the cause of the condition as much as possible. Appropriate strengthening and local muscle exercises should also be considered. Additionally, it is important to prevent long-term constipation and recurrent coughing, as failure to do so may significantly increase the likelihood of the condition recurring.
