Impotence is generally defined as erectile dysfunction; hernias do not generally cause erectile dysfunction. Excessive obesity, nerve damage to the abdominal wall, and ascites may lead to decreased abdominal wall strength or increased intra-abdominal pressure, which may cause a patient to develop a hernia. Hernias may cause adverse symptoms such as abdominal mass and pressure, constipation, a feeling of falling down, and epigastric pain, but they do not usually cause erectile dysfunction, and there is no authoritative information that suggests that there is a clear relationship between the two. If some hernias are left untreated, the hernia mass may gradually increase in size, eventually aggravating abdominal wall damage and affecting daily life. If incarceration or strangulation occurs, it may even be life-threatening. Such more serious hernias may affect sexual life, and may also lead to psychological abnormalities due to hernia disease, which in turn may cause erectile dysfunction. Hernia occurs for different reasons, the treatment will also be different. It is recommended that patients go to regular hospitals for timely treatment under the guidance of doctors.
