What methods can be used to treat hernia?

Patient's question:

Today for the first time, pain appeared in the groin area, and the scrotum became enlarged

Doctor's answer:

A hernia is generally the protrusion of abdominal contents through a weak spot in the muscle, like a hole in clothes. Conservative treatment for a hernia is usually ineffective and requires surgical intervention. The surgery can be divided into tension-free repair and tension repair. The latter uses an implanted patch to locally reinforce the area, resulting in a relatively lower recurrence rate after surgery. In daily life, avoid strenuous exercise and minimize abdominal strain to prevent the hernia from getting larger.
