Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling lower back pain, a bulge in the front between my chest and navel, and my abdomen is also protruding even when I'm not eating. After eating, my abdomen swells significantly. This happens intermittently, and it's been going on for 2 years. I don't know what the obvious symptoms of an abdominal hernia are?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, hernias are mostly caused by abdominal organs protruding through weak areas in the abdomen, forming a hernial sac on the surface. Severe hernias can be accompanied by abdominal pain and constipation. If you experience pain again, it may be necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Since you have abdominal discomfort, you can go to the hospital for a thorough abdominal examination to diagnose whether it is caused by a hernia.
