Patient's question:
I have had a decreased appetite these days, and I also often feel bloated, especially after eating a full meal, the bloating is very severe. I quickly went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the result was that I have a hiatal hernia. I would like to ask the doctor for early advice: what are the good treatments for hiatal hernia? Can hiatal hernia be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Middle-aged patients frequently experience gastric prolapse, which can be divided into physiological changes and pathological changes. If the symptoms are caused by degenerative changes in the gastrointestinal tract due to aging, they generally cannot be relieved but can be alleviated by taking medications that stabilize gastrointestinal motility. If the symptoms are caused by pathological changes due to occupying diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, surgical treatment can be used to address the underlying condition. If the underlying condition is resolved effectively, the symptoms can be alleviated.
