What you should know about hernias

A hernia is usually a “hernia” that occurs when the muscles in the inner layer of the abdomen are weak and the abdominal organs expand through the weak spot. When a hernia occurs, the abdominal organs expand through the weak abdominal wall, forming a sac into which a section of small intestine or other abdominal tissue can enter. A hernia, also known as a small bowel gas, is a mass that forms when an abdominal organ protrudes from its normal position through an orifice or weak spot in the abdominal wall. It is usually caused by a sudden increase in abdominal pressure that breaks through the peritoneal membrane of the hernia ring due to factors such as coughing, constipation, anger, heavy physical labor, and difficulty urinating. Both men and women can suffer from hernias. Hernias can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired (developed gradually) Hernias in adults do not get better over time, i.e. they do not go away (heal) on their own. Symptoms Hernias tend to occur in the groin, navel, and incisions where surgery has been performed. Hernias are usually easy to detect on your own. You may see a bulge in the skin of the abdominal wall; or you may feel pain when lifting heavy objects, coughing, straining to urinate or defecate, or standing or sitting for long periods of time. Elderly patients are prone to bladder or prostate disorders such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and increased nocturia; children can be affected by the normal development of the testicles due to the extrusion of the hernia; and young and middle-aged patients are prone to sexual dysfunction. Also due to the hernia sac of the intestinal tube or mesh easy to be squeezed or collision caused by inflammatory swelling, resulting in hernia retraction difficulties, leading to hernia incarcerated, as well as intestinal obstruction, intestinal necrosis, abdominal pain and other dangerous situations. Hernia treatment methods 1, conservative therapy: hernia belt or hernia pants: for pediatric or pre-surgery auxiliary treatment, the disadvantage is inconvenient and can not cure hernia. 2, radical therapy: through artificial patch and other means to repair the weak abdominal wall, plug the “loophole” to achieve a radical cure. In addition to surgical treatment, we should also remove the factors of high pressure in the abdominal cavity, such as: constipation, prostate hyperplasia, obesity, etc., and can prevent new hernia. We use small incision surgery, good efficacy, fast recovery, welcome patients to come to the clinic.
