Inguinal hernia is a small disease that still requires early treatment Inguinal hernia is commonly known as hernia and is a common disease. Weak degeneration of the abdominal wall and increased intra-abdominal pressure in middle-aged and elderly people are the two main triggers for the onset of the disease. Chronic constipation, coughing, difficulty in urination and long-term heavy physical activity can cause increased intra-abdominal pressure, and all are at high risk for inguinal hernia. The clinical manifestation of inguinal hernia is a repeated protrusion of a mass in the inguinal region, which is obvious when standing and walking or coughing and disappears when resting in a flat position. The protruding mass is called the hernia sac, and the contents inside the mass are the hernia contents. Because the contents of the hernia are intra-abdominal organs, patients often feel discomfort and swelling, and there is a possibility that the protruding mass may become embedded and cannot be retracted. Experts suggest that inguinal hernia must be treated surgically, and only surgery can really cure the effect. The “hernia belt” sold in the market treats the symptoms but not the root cause; the “no-incision gel treatment” recommended by informal hospitals is even more harmful than beneficial. The current formal surgical treatment is tension-free mesh hernia repair, which uses imported polypropylene mesh with soft texture, good histocompatibility and small foreign body reaction. Compared with traditional surgical methods, it has a significantly lower recurrence rate and better postoperative comfort. Some other surgical methods popular in China, such as mesh plug repair, can only be used for smaller hernias, and have poor results for recurrent hernias and larger hernias; laparoscopic hernia repair is risky and expensive, with the cost of materials alone being several thousand. Tension-free mesh hernia repair is more widely available, more cost-effective, and less risky.
