A protrusion or displacement of an organ or tissue through a normal or abnormal cavity or weakness in the body is called a hernia. Hernias can occur anywhere in the body. Extra-abdominal hernias include inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, umbilical hernia, white line hernia, hallux valgus hernia, incisional hernia, and fistula hernia, but inguinal hernia is the most common and is called “small intestine gas” by the common people. A hernia can be seen and felt. You may notice a lump in your abdomen or near your groin that may disappear or remain when you lie down, and may occasionally be painful. This symptom is more pronounced when exercising. Patients with early or mild symptoms of a hernia may only experience discomfort, pain, lower abdominal cramping, indigestion, and diarrhea, especially when coughing, lifting heavy objects, or standing for long periods of time. An inguinal hernia may be fine for decades, or something may happen at any time. Once the impaction occurs, if not treated in time, it can cause intestinal necrosis and perforation, and even endanger life. Since there are different degrees of degeneration, relaxation and even atrophy of muscles, tendons and ligaments in the elderly, and the elderly are often combined with many other diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, prostate hypertrophy and constipation, these diseases have a facilitating effect on the development of hernia. Elderly hernias are unlikely to heal on their own and are also dangerous once an incarcerated hernia develops. The use of activity restriction, hernia braces and hernia belts can only temporarily relieve the symptoms. Therefore, once detected, geriatric hernias should be treated surgically as soon as possible to address and prevent the dangers associated with an incarcerated hernia and to eliminate the worries that pain can bring to your daily life. For the treatment of geriatric hernia, the main treatment is the open local anesthesia procedure, which has a quick recovery, less pain, and is simple and economical with reliable results.
