Patient's question:
Father has been having stomach discomfort these days, unable to eat anything, with a very bloated stomach. He doesn't know what's wrong and his mental state is also not good. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be a hernia. I am very worried and don't know which medicine works best.Hello, what kind of medicine is best for elderly hernias?
Doctor's answer:
For elderly patients with hernia, the main treatment method is to decide on surgery. If surgery cannot be decided on in the near future, it can be appropriately chosen. The local use of a hernia belt is mainly applicable for fixation after manual reduction to prevent recurrent episodes. In daily life, it is also necessary to avoid strenuous exercise and maintain a diet based on light, easily digestible foods.During the treatment period, patients need to follow a regulated diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
