Hernia Tips for Treatment

  Hernia is a common and frequent disease, including inguinal hernia, incisional hernia, parastomal hernia, and esophageal hiatal hernia. The direct response of the general public to hernias is: minor problems. Therefore, the treatment is delayed as long as possible, and only when it is not possible do we see patients with a history of several years or even more than 10 years in the clinic. This is a very wrong concept.  The root cause of a hernia is the weakness of some parts of the body, causing organs in normal locations to enter abnormal locations through these weak areas. For example, an incisional hernia is a weakness caused by poor healing of the incision and lack of abdominal wall layers after abdominal open surgery for various reasons, with the resulting protrusion of intra-abdominal organs under the skin. Stoma hernia is caused by the protrusion of intra-abdominal organs due to weakness of the abdominal wall around the stoma intestinal canal.  Why is it necessary to treat hernias aggressively once they occur? First of all, it is clear that whether it is an inguinal, incisional, parastomal or esophageal hiatal hernia, once it occurs, it does not heal on its own. Moreover, with time delay, the weak or defective area will gradually increase in size, leading to the protrusion of more intra-abdominal organs and causing significant pain, cramping and discomfort. For incisional and parastomal hernias, more intestinal tubes protrude into the hernia sac, which can cause poor defecation and poor fitting of the stoma bag to the skin, causing leakage of excrement. Long-term larger hernia sacs can lead to dystrophy of the skin at the hernia sac, resulting in ulceration and intestinal exposure, and a significant proportion of patients can develop an incarcerated hernia, leading to intestinal necrosis and life-threatening conditions. Therefore, hernia disease should be promptly diagnosed.
