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. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. What are the disadvantages of hiatal hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
After hiatal hernia surgery, it is mainly prone to adhesion of abdominal viscera. The causes of hiatal hernia are mostly esophageal developmental defects, muscle expansion or weakened muscle tension, and long-term increased intra-abdominal pressure. The main clinical manifestations are nausea of gastric contents, upper abdominal fullness, belching, and pain. Once this condition is detected, surgical treatment is best recommended, as hiatal hernia may have the potential for malignant transformation.
