Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I just came out of the hospital a few days ago and had an inguinal hernia surgery. However, I am very concerned that this condition might recur, so I would like to ask the doctor here how to do postoperative prevention to avoid the disease from recurring again.Doctor's answer:
Hernia is a relatively common disease in general surgery. It is caused by congenital underdevelopment of abdominal muscles, combined with sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure due to postnatal factors, leading to the weakening of abdominal contents. The best treatment for this condition is surgical intervention. After surgery, to prevent recurrence, it is advisable to avoid factors that increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as breastfeeding, constipation, holding your breath, or sudden exertion.
