Patient's question:
Mom was hospitalized due to abdominal pain. The doctor conducted a series of thorough examinations and diagnosed it as an elderly hernia. My cousin's child also had a hernia, but it was an infant hernia. Why do so many people get hernias? What exactly is a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is caused by congenital or acquired various reasons leading to the weakness of the abdominal wall muscles. Subsequently, when the intra-abdominal pressure of the patient decreases, the abdominal organs pass through the weak areas and form an abdominal mass on the surface. If a patient suffers from this disease, they should first avoid performing many actions that increase abdominal pressure. Additionally, it is necessary to actively implement surgical repair treatment. Generally, oral medications are ineffective.
