Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling particularly unwell, and the area around my abdomen sometimes hurts a lot and feels bloated. I went to see a doctor today, and they said I have a hernia. Are there any good dietary methods for treating hernias? I'd also like to consult further—any other effective methods?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is caused by congenital incomplete development of the abdominal wall, or by scars in the abdominal wall muscles or muscle weakness. Therefore, it fundamentally has anatomical abnormalities of the human body, and can only be treated by surgical repair. If medication can alleviate hernia, there is no scientific basis for this. It can only be said that in daily life, certain medications can control and prevent factors that may lead to deterioration, such as using laxatives or cough syrups to prevent these contributing factors.
