Patient's question:
Recently, I took my child to the hospital for an inguinal hernia surgery and are now recovering at home. Why do people get inguinal hernias?Doctor's answer:
The formation of hernia is greatly related to the patient's physique. It is mainly caused by factors such as coughing, forced defecation, excessive crying, etc., which lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure, forcing free abdominal organs like the small intestine, ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc., to penetrate through holes. The original part passes through the body's normal or abnormal weaknesses or defects and enters a smaller part through pores. The most common symptom of hernia is in the groin area, where a lump can usually be seen or felt. Adults have no chance of self-healing, and patients usually experience severe pain, lower abdominal pain, indigestion, and other related symptoms.
