Patient's question:
I have been troubled for a long time due to a hernia. I would like to ask the doctor what caused the hernia?Doctor's answer:
Adults who discover a hernia do not need to engage in indiscriminate consultation or medication treatment. It is important to promptly visit a hospital's surgical department for a follow-up examination and determine the appropriate surgical method. This is because the cause of a hernia is a weak abdominal wall or excessive abdominal pressure, which leads to a forceful rise, weakening the protective function of the abdominal organs or their surrounding structures. This results in a weak intestinal skin, forming a lump that cannot be self-retracted. Therefore, medication cannot compensate for the shortcomings of the abdominal wall.
