A lateral abdominal wall mass with fixed pressure pain is the main clinical sign of a hallux valgus hernia. How should elderly people prevent the occurrence of this disease? 1, do not carry heavy objects Elderly people should not carry heavy objects, such as carrying heavy bags of grain or buckets of water, carrying gas cans, etc. Because the moment of lifting or carrying heavy objects, the intra-abdominal pressure will also rise sharply. The moment you lift or carry heavy objects, the pressure inside your abdomen will also rise sharply, leading to the occurrence of a hallux valgus hernia. If you have such a situation, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid adding to the weak abdominal wall and causing a hallux valgus hernia to occur. 3, do not smoke Coughing can cause a significant increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Long-term smoking also causes disruption of the collagen fiber metabolism of the abdominal wall, resulting in a decrease in the strength of the abdominal wall. Therefore, not smoking can reduce coughing, which in turn reduces the occurrence of meniscus hernia. 4, physical exercise Studies have shown that enhancing the strength of the abdominal wall muscles can reduce the occurrence of hernias. Do some simple sports, such as bending, flexion and extension movements, tai chi, gymnastics, gateball, ballroom dancing, swimming, etc.. However, do not perform strenuous exercises.
