Symptoms and treatment of abdominal hernia

Abdominal hernia is mainly manifested by the presence of a mass, which is obvious when standing and can gradually disappear when lying down, or the mass can disappear when gently pressed with the hand. If the mass is large, the patient may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, and may also experience symptoms of intestinal obstruction. If the mass is not able to be localized back into the abdominal cavity, there will also be obvious abdominal pain, poor defecation and poor bowel movement. After the discovery of hernia, you can go to the general surgery department of the hospital to complete the relevant examinations and undergo surgical treatment. Surgery can be either open or laparoscopic, and usually requires localized placement of a patch to repair the defect, followed by layer-by-layer suturing. The patch can be a conventional non-absorbable patch or a biopatch, depending on the patient’s condition. During the treatment period, patients should not do too strenuous exercise and should not consume beverages containing alcohol.
