Patient's question:
My testicles have never felt any pain before, but it started in the first half of this year. Sometimes my testicles experience sharp or twisted pain. The skin underneath is also itchy, and I dare not scratch it. How should inguinal hernia be treated?Doctor's answer:
The formation of hernia can be attributed to defects in the abdominal wall or a decrease in intra-abdominal pressure. Increasing abdominal wall tension and reducing negative pressure are key to treatment. Cough suppression, defecation relief, and hernia trusses are the main treatment methods. Surgery should be considered when necessary. It can be said that single-drug treatment is ineffective. Patients should pay more attention to hygiene in the lower body, change underwear frequently, and use boiling water to sterilize them during each wash. Attention should also be paid to a balanced diet, eating more light foods, and avoiding spicy foods like ginger and garlic. Hernia surgery, also known as hernia repair surgery, is a procedure that uses sutures to forcibly bind the sides of the scar to repair it.
