Patient's question:
My body has always been fine, but recently for the past few days, I've been feeling discomfort in my lower abdomen. I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it wasn't a big deal. Today, the pain in my lower abdomen became particularly severe, and when I touched it, I felt a hard lump. The pain became unbearable, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have a hernia. What kind of medicine can relieve a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is primarily caused by congenital or acquired reasons leading to weakness in the abdominal wall muscles. Under conditions of increased abdominal pressure, the most common organs in the abdominal cavity, such as the intestines, protrude through the weak points to form a lump on the surface of the body. In such cases, oral medication is generally ineffective, and it is recommended that patients with hernia undergo surgical repair as soon as possible. Additionally, it is important to avoid actions that increase abdominal pressure in daily life.
