Patient's question:
A bump has formed at the base of the thigh. The symptoms have been present for three years. Test results: No tests have been conducted. Treatment history and effectiveness: Used a hernia belt. Desired help: Heard that it is possible to treat without surgery through injections. Is this possible? What is the success rate? How is the recovery process if surgery is performed at this age?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned is due to a hernia, which is caused by internal organs or tissues protruding through congenital weak points in the abdominal wall. Therefore, medication is ineffective, and surgical repair is necessary. The idea of taking medication has already been ruled out, so it is recommended that you undergo surgery. The outcome after surgery is very good. Additionally, in this case, you can consider minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, which does not require drainage, debridement, or suture removal. This approach is highly effective and minimally invasive, so it is strongly recommended. It is still best to have surgery as early as possible for this condition, as prolonged delay may increase the risk of recurrence and potential bowel strangulation or necrosis.
