Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said there was something in the scrotum, which might be a hernia. It doesn't hurt, but it feels tight. Treatment for a hernia?Doctor's answer:
If a hernia is detected, it should be treated surgically as soon as possible. Early detection leads to early treatment. Through congenital or acquired weak points, scars, or openings, it enters another part. Common types of hernias include umbilical hernias, inguinal direct hernias, inguinal indirect hernias, incisional hernias, surgical incisional hernias, white line hernias, and femoral hernias, etc. If a hernia is not treated in time, the herniated lump may gradually decrease, symptoms may worsen, and it may even lead to re-occurrence of strangulation or incarceration, threatening the patient's life.
