Patient's question:
My body has always been fine, but recently I've been experiencing constant abdominal pain. When I touch the area, it hurts. A few days ago, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and the doctor said I have a hernia. I want to ask how exactly a 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 hernia roots. The cause is poor blood and Qi flow. Hernia has many different types. Due to different positions and etiologies of hernias, their types also vary. Most occur in children and the elderly. Common types include umbilical hernia, pediatric inguinal, direct hernia, inguinal, direct hernia, internal hernia, external hernia, lumbar hernia, incisional hernia, and inguinal hernia in middle-aged and elderly women.
