Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. After visiting the hospital and feeling better for a while, 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 thoracic 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 drug treatment. If the patient's condition is not very severe, drug treatment can be initiated first 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 may be necessary.
