How can we prevent hernia?

Patient's question:

Inguinal hernia, it can be gently pushed back up. I am 22 years old now.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is no specific method to completely prevent the occurrence of hernias, and everyone is potentially at risk. The best way to prevent hernias is to maintain good health. Here are some suggestions:
1. Healthy diet and nutrition: This can help prevent constipation and support strong muscle tissue.
2. Do not smoke: Smoking can cause chronic coughing due to lung irritation, which not only increases the risk of hernias but may also lead to recurrence.
3. Exercise: Regular, gentle exercise helps strengthen abdominal muscles.
4. Maintain a balanced weight: If you are overweight, try losing some weight to reduce abdominal pressure.
5. Use proper lifting techniques: Avoid lifting heavy objects.
Simple abdominal muscle exercises: Lie flat on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Keep your shoulders on the floor and lift your hips.
