Patient's question:
My body has always been fine, but recently I've been constantly feeling abdominal pain. When I touch it, it hurts. A few days ago, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and the doctor said I have an inguinal hernia. I want to ask how exactly an inguinal hernia is formed?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is caused by the incomplete growth and development in children, physical weakness in the elderly, lack of middle Qi, cold Qi, dampness, turbidity, and resentment, leading to obstructive stagnation during surgery, abdominal negative pressure, resulting in increased intra-abdominal pressure, forcing free abdominal organs such as the small intestine, cecum, omentum, and bladder. Ovarian and fallopian tube punctures, that is to say, triggering the root of the hernia. The cause is poor blood and Qi flow. There are many different types of hernias. Due to different positions and etiologies of hernias, the types of hernias also vary. Most occur in children and the elderly. Common types include umbilical hernia, pediatric inguinal, direct inguinal, direct inguinal, internal hernia, external hernia, lumbar hernia, incisional hernia, and inguinal hernia in middle-aged and elderly women.
