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 treated for a while, but then it came back again. Please ask how to treat the symptoms of hiatal hernia.Doctor's answer:
Hiatal hernia is mainly caused by the process where abdominal organs, primarily the stomach, pass through the weak area of the esophageal hiatal opening in the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity when intra-abdominal pressure decreases. Since you have already experienced additional symptoms of hiatal hernia, treatment can only be achieved through surgery to repair the esophageal hiatal opening. Additionally, it is necessary to pay attention to avoiding a decrease in abdominal pressure after surgery to prevent recurrence of symptoms such as severe coughing, straining during bowel movements, and other similar situations.
