Patient's question:
The child of my cousin noticed inguinal hernia when they started elementary school. Sometimes the child would experience episodes when they engaged in intense physical activity or didn't rest properly. Every time they went to the hospital for follow-up, the doctor recommended surgery. How exactly is inguinal hernia treated, and will the surgery cause rejection?Doctor's answer:
For recurrent inguinal hernias, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoiding strenuous exercise, especially within the first 6 months after surgery, which is the peak period for recurrence. Appropriate consideration can be given to tension-free surgery. In daily life, attention should also be paid to long-term constipation, as well as acute and chronic coughs, etc. The underlying causes need to be effectively addressed. It is recommended to provide proper nursing training to prevent the recurrence of various situations that can increase intra-abdominal pressure.
