Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's wrong, I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Can I have an inguinal hernia surgery if I have ascites?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Cirrhosis with ascites indicates that liver function has already entered the decompensation stage! It often leads to reduced synthesis of coagulation factors, hypersplenism, decreased coagulation function, the risk of bleeding, and hepatic encephalopathy! It is also accompanied by ascites! The intra-abdominal pressure is often high! It is prone to recurrence even after surgery! Overall, surgical treatment for hernia is not recommended!I believe everyone knows that hernia can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light eating and avoiding foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
