Patient's question:
My child has been experiencing abdominal swelling recently, and she can't eat anything. She lies in bed all day, completely motionless and without any strength. Sometimes she feels nauseous and vomits, so now I don't dare to give her anything to eat without consulting a doctor. After a thorough examination at the hospital, she was found to have a hernia and understood that surgery was necessary. However, she experienced retching on the same day. Will retching occur on the same day after a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hernia, sometimes also referred to as "intra-abdominal hernia," is a disease caused by multiple different factors. It is generally brought on by a sudden increase in abdominal pressure due to excessive exertion, which then leads to the rupture of the hernia ring and peritoneum under the increased pressure. After hernia surgery, vomiting may occur again. It is not possible to rule out the possibility of increased abdominal pressure and onset during vomiting. Specific requirements include clinical practice. In daily life, attention should also be paid to light and easily digestible foods, fresh vegetables, fruits, and green rough fiber foods to prevent symptoms such as abdominal pain and constipation. It is also necessary to avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise. Many antiemetic drugs can be appropriately selected and used based on clinical medical advice.
