Patient's question:
I don't know what's wrong. I feel a bit of bloating in my abdomen, and sometimes it also feels a bit painful. Recently, I've been constipated quite often, which is not something I've experienced before. I often feel very tired and lack energy. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of small intestinal hernia and how it is treated?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms are due to increased pressure in the rectum, including constipation, coughing, hiccups, and even lifting heavy objects, which may cause local pain or recurrent local lumps. Symptoms usually subside when lying flat. In daily life, it is also necessary to pay attention to drinking more water and consuming appropriate amounts of honey water, which can enhance gastrointestinal motility and alleviate constipation. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables is also recommended.
