Question
My child has high abdominal pressure and has developed a hernia. Reducing abdominal pressure can treat the hernia. How can I alleviate it?
Answer
Based on your description, reducing abdominal pressure is not the primary consideration for treating a hernia. Abdominal pressure is necessary to maintain stable intraperitoneal pressure, and hernias are mainly caused by weak abdominal muscles. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid situations that increase abdominal pressure, such as prolonged coughing or constipation, as these may exacerbate the hernia. Efforts should be made to control factors that increase abdominal pressure.
