Patient's question:
I have a friend who eats dinner very quickly and hardly chews her food. Also, she always finds it difficult to use the restroom, needing to exert a lot of effort. Now, she has actually developed a hernia. Hello, when is the best time to have hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is one of the common diseases in general surgery, especially for adult hernias. Adults often engage in activities such as tennis or sports, which can lead to exercises that reduce abdominal pressure. Moreover, adult hernias are highly prone to causing intestinal obstruction or even suppuration. Therefore, active surgical treatment is necessary for adult hernias. Your friend's hernia should be treated surgically as early as possible. The best time for hernia surgery is the earlier, the better.
