Patient's question:
I have carefully checked and found that I have an inguinal hernia, which has been present in Shaanxi for some time. However, I have been quite hesitant about how to treat it properly because my condition is not very serious. A few days ago, a doctor suggested that I undergo a repair surgery, but I don't know what this surgery entails as I have never had it done before. So, I would like to ask—is an inguinal hernia repair surgery reliable?Doctor's answer:
For inguinal hernia, the main treatment method is to decide on local repair surgery. It is also necessary to consider the main clinical manifestations of the diagnosis. In daily life, attention should be paid to prevent lifting heavy objects, hiccups, coughing, or even constipation, as these may all lead to symptom exacerbation and require attention. Local repair surgery is one of the main methods for treating hernia. Appropriate use of patches can also be employed for local repair, but it is necessary to be cautious of the possibility of recurrence after surgery.
