Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing indigestion and constipation. I always feel bloated in my abdomen and have been eating less. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the detailed examination revealed an inguinal hernia, which requires surgery. My friend has also had an inguinal hernia, but they don't know what to pay attention to. What should one pay attention to before having surgery for an inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
If the hernia is severe, it may lead to recurrent intestinal obstruction or even intestinal necrosis. If the pain is severe, choline-based drugs can be used to promote blood circulation. Timely surgical intervention requires attention, avoiding movement, resting in bed, and after (postoperative), consuming a light diet, avoiding overly greasy and irritating foods. Change dressings regularly. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
