Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling very uncomfortable with my stomach, and when I cough, the two groins also hurt. I went to the hospital, and the result was a hernia. Treatment has already started. I want to understand how a hernia is formed?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of hernia is often caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure and weakened abdominal wall strength. Typically, abdominal organs or intestines protrude through a weak area of the abdominal wall, forming a soft mass on the surface, which can retract when lying down. Timely surgical treatment is necessary for diagnosis of hernia. If the hernia sac does not retract and abdominal pain subsides, it may indicate a recurrence of strangulated hernia, requiring immediate emergency surgery to prevent intestinal infection.
