Patient's question:
Doctor, I am currently 23 years old and female. I am feeling very helpless because I have carefully checked and found that I have a hernia. This condition is usually something that infants might get, so I never expected to have it too. My hernia is the size of a walnut. How should it be treated now?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to follow up with general surgery in your local area. If it is a hernia, it requires surgical treatment. It is generally related to your nutritional status and incomplete growth and development, causing the tissues to drop from weak areas, thus forming a hernia. Mainly, surgical treatment is necessary. Additionally, pay close attention to the condition of incarceration, such as severe abdominal pain accompanied by constipation, and seek timely follow-up.
