Patient's question:
My father has had a hernia for a year and a half and has been treated for a long time. Now he feels a bit better, and the doctor reminded us to pay attention to my father's condition in daily life. I would like to consult about what issues hernia patients should pay attention to in their daily lives?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hernias have improved after treatment. During daily life, it is essential to pay attention to preventing increased abdominal pressure. In particular, avoid getting angry, staying calm, overeating, and preventing excessive obesity. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods, or foods that are difficult to digest, to avoid diarrhea or constipation, which can lead to increased abdominal pressure and trigger a recurrence of hernia. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
