Patient's question:
I pay a lot of attention to my daily life, following a regular diet and routine. But for some reason, I've noticed a small hard lump near my abdomen recently. I went to see a doctor, and they said it's a hernia. What should I do about a hernia? Do I need to have surgery to fix it?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is one of the most common general surgical diseases in clinical diagnosis. According to your condition description, you are currently 24 years old. For adult hernias, due to frequent intense physical activities in adults, there can be recurring episodes of decreased intra-abdominal pressure, and adult hernias can easily lead to intestinal strangulation and compression. For safety, surgical treatment for adult hernias is the most effective treatment method. It is recommended that you come for treatment promptly.
