Patient's question:
My physical condition has been good, but recently I've been feeling a heavy pain in the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. I've been using the restroom frequently. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the result was that I have a hernia. I'd like to ask what should be done after being diagnosed with a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hernia refers to a condition where an organ or part of the body returns to a position other than its normal anatomical location through congenital or acquired weak points, scars, or openings. Based on the situation you described, it appears to be an inguinal hernia, which should be treated with an inguinal hernia repair surgery. This is a minor surgical procedure in general surgery and can be performed at any time, regardless of the season. Currently, there are traditional hernia repair techniques, as well as value-added three-dimensional shaped artificial mesh used to repair and reinforce the damaged abdominal wall defect. It is important to pay attention to preventing straining during bowel movements and intense physical activity.
