Patient's question:
Father has been feeling uncomfortable in his stomach these days, unable to eat anything, with his abdomen particularly bloated. He doesn't know what's wrong and his mental state is also not good. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be a hernia. I'm very worried and don't know which medicine works best.Hello, what kind of medicine is best for elderly hernias?
Doctor's answer:
For elderly patients with hernia, the main treatment method is to decide on surgery. If it is not possible to decide on surgery in the near future, it can be appropriately decided. The local use of a hernia belt is mainly applicable for fixation after manual reduction to prevent repeated recurrence. In daily life, it is also necessary to avoid strenuous exercise and base the diet on light, easily digestible foods.During the treatment period, patients need to follow a dietary regimen, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
