Patient's question:
I always felt like there was a lump on my thigh. At first, I didn't care. Later, I felt it was very painful. Gradually, I quickly opened it and it became bigger. I couldn't help but go to the hospital. After a thorough examination, I said I had a hernia.Doctor's answer:
First, it interferes with the patient's digestive system, leading to symptoms such as lower abdominal expansion, abdominal pain, constipation, poor nutrient absorption, fatigue, and physical weakness. Additionally, since the groin area is adjacent to the urinary and reproductive systems, elderly patients are prone to bladder or prostate diseases, such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and nocturia. Therefore, patients with hernia require prompt treatment. At the current level of scientific understanding, hernia can be cured.
