Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I'm someone who dislikes activities after dinner, but usually, there's nothing much to do. However, at noon, I ate too much and then focused on running, which caused me to suddenly get side stitches halfway through. When I take deep breaths, I feel a pain in my throat with a sense of pressure, and I also feel a dull ache in my chest. Doctor, how should I treat the side stitches?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment for hernia is to decide on surgical intervention. It also requires considering the patient's age. If the patient is an infant, there is a possibility of self-healing, but adults do not heal on their own, so it may be necessary to determine the appropriate time for surgical intervention. It is also important to decide whether to perform local repair or use a mesh for repair, as the effect is quite significant. In daily life, it is appropriate to use a hernia belt for fixation.
