Patient's question:
Recently, when I have gas in my stomach, I feel a sense of heaviness and pain in the lower abdomen. I don't know if it's a hernia. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Not treated. What kind of help do you need: Hello, is my symptom a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, hernia is caused by weak areas in the abdominal wall due to increased abdominal pressure, leading to the protrusion of abdominal organs like intestines or omentum through these weak spots, forming two bulges. When lying down, they may retract, but the symptoms tend to recur easily and can lead to complications such as intestinal strangulation and necrosis!Advice: Your current symptoms cannot be fully confirmed as a hernia. It is recommended that you seek a thorough examination at a standard Grade III-A general surgery department in a reputable hospital to clarify the condition.
