Patient's question:
My father has had a hernia for a year and a half and has been treated for a long time. Now he feels a bit better, and the doctor reminded us to pay attention to my father's condition in daily life. I would like to consult about what issues hernia patients should pay attention to in their daily lives?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hernias who have been treated have shown improvement in their condition. During daily life, it is essential for patients to pay attention to preventing an increase in abdominal pressure. In particular, they should avoid getting angry, not overeat, prevent excessive obesity, not consume spicy or irritating foods, and not eat foods that are difficult to digest to avoid diarrhea or constipation, which can lead to an increase in abdominal pressure and trigger a recurrence of hernia. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
