Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, with a persistent dull pain in my stomach and sometimes symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. After visiting the hospital and feeling better for a while, it started again. What is hiatal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hiatal hernia is caused by congenital developmental abnormalities and is highly related to its severity. If it is mild, it can be treated conservatively with medication. However, if it is severe and causes significant clinical symptoms, surgical treatment should be considered. I recommend you to consult with a thoracic surgeon for a follow-up. Professional doctors will provide you with appropriate guidance. Avoid getting cold and maintain a light diet, while keeping a positive mindset.
