Patient's question:
I recently had stomach discomfort and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have acquired hernia. I want to ask what acquired hernia is?Doctor's answer:
Congenital hernia is a type of hernia caused by extrinsic factors. Especially, many children may develop hernia if they frequently cry, cough, or suffer from constipation, which leads to increased abdominal pressure. If a hernia is detected, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it re-enters, it may cause intestinal necrosis or intestinal perforation. Generally, congenital hernia refers to a disease that occurs before birth, while postnatal hernia naturally refers to the disease after birth, i.e., postnatal secondary neuron hernia. In general, hernia mainly occurs at weak points in the abdominal wall, where relatively large abdominal organs push through the weak areas into the abdominal cavity, forming a hernia. This treatment is primarily surgical. Daily life requires attention to rest and avoiding overexertion.
