Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 48 years old. I had surgery for a hernia ten years ago, in the right groin area. Now it seems to be pushing back a bit, and I don't know if it is or not. It hurts a little when pressed, and I feel it might be a hernia. I would like to ask the doctor what to do?Doctor's answer:
Hernia has the potential to occur, and it is important to pay attention to those with underlying causes to try and eliminate them as much as possible. This includes long-term constipation, acute and chronic cough, etc. If the condition recurs, it may be appropriate to strengthen local muscle exercises. Additionally, proper nursing training should be provided to effectively address the underlying causes. In some cases, tension-free surgery using a mesh for local repair may be considered.
