Patient's question:
In this period, I often hiccup, sometimes feel my stomach a bit bloated, which is very uncomfortable, occasionally also feel a bit of dull pain. After a thorough examination, the doctor said I have an inguinal hernia. I want to understand, what are the treatment methods for an inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, patients with hernia need to undergo surgical repair in a timely manner. The recurrence of hernia is related to increased abdominal pressure and weakened abdominal wall strength. After diagnosing a hernia, it is important to perform surgery early and promptly to avoid the occurrence of incarcerated hernia or strangulated hernia. People with hernia should gently press their abdomen when coughing or hiccuping, avoid exercises that increase abdominal pressure, and take preventive measures to prevent the recurrence of constipation.
