Question
Lately, I’ve been feeling constant stomach pain. I thought it was just indigestion, so I didn’t take it seriously. I took some painkillers, but they didn’t help, so I went to the hospital. After examination, the doctor said it was a hernia. I want to know how to treat a hernia?
Answer
Hello, your condition is abdominal pain. The hospital examination diagnosed it as a hernia, which is a common disease in general surgery. Abdominal hernias include inguinal hernia, incisional hernia, epigastric hernia, and incisor hernia. The occurrence of abdominal hernias is mainly related to weak points in the abdominal wall and increased intra-abdominal pressure. Active surgical treatment is recommended, while avoiding factors that increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as coughing, bending, lifting heavy objects, constipation, etc.
