Patient's question:
Since getting a hernia, my stomach has started to have some problems. It's either indigestion or diarrhea, and it often hurts. It's quite disruptive to my work. Sometimes, even while discussing business with clients, it starts to recur. I'd like to find some time to get treated. Is hernia treatment better with traditional Chinese medicine or surgery?Doctor's answer:
For hernia, the most effective treatment method is to decide on surgical intervention. It is necessary to pay attention to postoperative care, as there is a possibility of recurrence. Oral medication may be ineffective, and even the local use of a hernia belt for fixation may only be appropriately decided upon. Local fixation and prevention of acute recurrence cannot achieve effective treatment goals. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to appropriate local repair, even using a mesh for repair.
