Question
My child has high abdominal pressure and has developed a hernia. How can we alleviate it?
Answer
Based on your description, reducing abdominal pressure does not treat hernias. Abdominal pressure is necessary to maintain a constant pressure within the abdominal cavity. The main cause of hernias is weak abdominal muscles. On this basis, if abdominal pressure increases for a prolonged period, it can easily worsen the hernia. Therefore, it is important to avoid increasing abdominal pressure, such as prolonged coughing or constipation, which are likely to increase abdominal pressure. Try to control suffocating gases.
