Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 26 years old. First, I got an inguinal hernia. What is an inguinal hernia? At first, my friend asked if I had an inguinal hernia because he said the symptoms were quite similar. Then I started to suspect it myself. How is an inguinal hernia treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the symptoms of the patient are not yet fully understood, so it cannot be confirmed whether the patient has a hernia. In this case, you can go to the general surgery department of the hospital for a follow-up visit. If a hernia is present, it is likely to be a benign inflammation caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure leading to intestinal prolapse. In clinical diagnosis, this condition is generally recommended to be treated with hernia repair surgery. If external medications or oral medications are used, they are often ineffective.
