Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. My stomach has been, sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. What is hiatal hernia?Doctor's answer:
This disease primarily refers to conditions where abdominal organs, such as the stomach, enter the chest cavity through the esophageal hiatus, leading to various disorders. Currently, the treatment for this condition is roughly divided into two major categories: surgical treatment and stringent medication treatment. If the patient's condition is not very severe, medication treatment can be initially adopted to see how the patient responds. This mainly involves using drugs that suppress gastric acid secretion and enhance gastrointestinal motility. However, if the patient's condition is relatively severe, surgical treatment can be performed.
