Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 28 years old this year. In daily life, I have always been very disciplined in my private life and have not had casual relations with others. But recently, I have been experiencing discomfort in my lower abdomen. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was a genital hernia. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment method is to determine whether surgical intervention is necessary. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to avoiding heavy lifting, as well as strenuous activities such as running and jumping, and to prevent any situations that may cause an increase in intra-abdominal pressure from recurring. If the condition worsens progressively, it is recommended to consider surgical intervention as soon as possible. After surgery, it is also necessary to pay attention to proper postoperative care to prevent recurrence. The six months following a hernia surgery are considered a high-risk period.
