Myth 1, the hernia that does not interfere with eating and drinking does not need to be treated Just like a torn dress is not repaired in time, the hole can only get bigger and bigger, with the prolongation of the disease, the hernia will also get bigger and bigger. And once the hernia incarcerated, not only the pain is big, easy to life-threatening, but also need emergency surgery, and the risk of surgery will be greatly increased. Therefore, for a hernia that is not painful and does not interfere with eating or drinking, early surgical treatment is the best policy. Myth 2, misled by false advertising Hernia is a physical defect in the abdominal wall, it is impossible to heal itself, surgery is the only way to cure hernia. However, many patients do not understand the scientific and formal treatment methods, but are misled by many false advertisements circulating in the society, or have unrealistic fantasies about conservative treatment. In fact, conservative treatment can only temporarily relieve symptoms and cannot cure. Many patients treated with injections not only spend a lot of money, but also cause the anatomical relationship of the surgical site is unclear, making it more difficult to operate in the future. Myth 3, fear of surgery and postoperative bed rest Most patients have never had surgery in their lives, so it is natural to have a fear of surgery. However, surgery is the most important treatment for hernia in modern medicine, and it is a minimally invasive method under local anesthesia. The incision is only three or four centimeters, the damage is very small, the recovery is fast, you can get out of bed after surgery, without catheterization. Myth 4, afraid of recurrence after surgery Modern hernia surgery is developing rapidly, there are more than ten new minimally invasive surgical methods. Hernia specialists are able to choose more reasonable surgical methods according to the patient’s different conditions, so by the past more than 10% of the recurrence rate dropped to less than 1%. Myth 5, fear of foreign body reaction Hernia patients generally have a concern that the modern tension-free hernia repair using synthetic organic materials will cause harm to the human body. In fact, the current use of repair materials used in the human body has a history of more than 50 years, tissue compatibility is very good, almost no reaction with the tissue. Myth 6, embarrassed to see a doctor Because inguinal hernia mostly appear in the external genitalia near, so some elderly people are reluctant to inform their families, but also embarrassed to see a doctor, get over it, silently endure. Only in the event of incarceration, only had to go to the emergency room. This is not only painful, but also risky.
