Patient's question:
One year ago, the illness broke out, but it healed without medication. Recently, for over ten days, there has been swelling in the groin area with a lump. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: No treatment was administered. What kind of help is needed: How does a hernia interfere with pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
This hernia is caused by weakness in the abdomen, leading to the herniation of abdominal contents. In adults, if this reappears, it is generally necessary to undergo surgical treatment. If not treated, it is likely to recur in the future. This can affect pregnancy.During pregnancy, abdominal pressure decreases. If the hernia is not treated properly, it is likely to recur. Moreover, if the treatment is not effective, undergoing surgery during pregnancy is not advisable. It is recommended to have the surgery before pregnancy.
