Patient's question:
I seem to have a hernia. I've seen my former colleague get one, and after comparing the symptoms, I think that's what it might be. Tomorrow, when my husband is off work, I'll take him to get a thorough check-up to confirm. But I'm not sure which department to go to for a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hernia has general surgery, you can register for follow-up at the surgery department of a regular Class III hospital. A hernia is an inflammation caused by an organ or tissue returning to an abnormal position and moving into another position. It is recommended that patients undergo treatment through surgery. If a hernia is not treated in a timely manner, it may lead to strangulation or incarceration, which is very dangerous and may potentially be life-threatening.
