Can a hiatal hernia be treated again?

Patient's question:

Left groin pain, small intestine drops with egg size. Examination and test results: No detailed examination was performed. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Surgical treatment for right inguinal hernia in 1997. This year's onset, what kind of help is needed: How should I do? Don't want to have surgery again.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the recurrence of hernia is very common, often seen in the elderly, children, and thin people, especially those with weak abdominal muscles. If it is a reducible hernia, it can be treated conservatively. If it is an incarcerated hernia, surgical treatment is required.
Advice: It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. If it recurs as an incarcerated hernia, it may lead to intestinal brain edema and suppuration, requiring intestinal resection and anastomosis surgery. Currently, it is recommended to return the incarcerated hernia to the abdominal cavity, place a cotton pad or towel over the external orifice of the hernia, and then wrap a bandage around the waist tightly to prevent the herniated content from weakening.
