Patient's question:
Stomach feels very hard, always thought it was a beer belly, never expected to actually have a hernia. What are the characteristics of a hernia? What is the best time for treating a hernia? During the period of taking oral medication, will it definitely cause discomfort to the body? How does the adverse reaction to the medication manifest?Doctor's answer:
The best time to treat a hernia is to detect and treat it early. A hernia is a condition where the abdominal wall tissue is weak and the intra-abdominal pressure is high, causing the abdominal wall tissue to rupture and the abdominal contents to leak out through the rupture into the peritoneum. This condition cannot be treated with oral medication and requires surgical treatment. If the hernia can be reduced spontaneously, it can be temporarily observed, but if it re-enters, immediate surgery is necessary.
