Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing abdominal pain frequently, and I don't know if it is caused by a disease. I would like to know if a hernia can cause abdominal pain?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, when a hernia affects the patient's digestive system, the lower abdomen may experience a sense of fullness and pain, and there may also be a possibility of reduced nutrient absorption, increased body mass, and constipation. This type of hernia is caused by the slipping of the small intestine. For this symptom, it is necessary to perform a careful ultrasound examination in a timely manner, and surgery should be diagnosed based on the examination results. Generally, it can also be decided to perform ligation surgery or repair surgery based on the type of hernia for symptomatic treatment. If there is long-term pain, it may be a sign of hernia incarceration or intestinal obstruction, and it is necessary to seek timely treatment in a formal hospital.
