Patient's question:
Small intestinal hernia, a large lump protruding from the right lower abdomen, what should I do? It has reappeared since yesterday. The lump is very hard and shows no signs of softening. Now I have severe bloating and haven't had a bowel movement for two days, with in the abdomen.Doctor's answer:
Hernia is one of the most common abdominal diseases in clinical diagnosis of general surgery. Based on your description of the condition, you are currently diagnosed with a hernia. However, you haven't had a bowel movement for two days, and the lump has not disappeared. Therefore, there is a high suspicion that you are experiencing recurrent intestinal incarceration and strangulation. Due to prolonged intestinal incarceration and strangulation, it is easy for the intestine to become purulent, so surgical treatment must be performed as soon as possible.
