A hernia is like carrying a bomb.

Abdominal wall hernia is a common disease in general surgery, most do not need emergency surgical treatment, but the abdominal wall hernia will not heal on its own, surgery is the only effective way to treat, at present, abdominal wall hernia surgical treatment has conventional surgery and laparoscopic surgery, which is greatly convenient for the patients. It is understood that the hernia occurs in children and the elderly, children are mainly due to the rectus abdominis muscle white line fusion at the tissue development is not perfect, combined with children crying lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure, easy to lead to the occurrence of hernia, elderly patients are mainly due to the abdominal wall tissue degenerative changes lead to the abdominal wall is weak, and more combined with long-term coughing, constipation and so on, caused by the increase in intra-abdominal pressure leads to. “Once the hernia is incarcerated, leading to difficulties in retraction, can cause abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, and even intestinal necrosis, as if carrying a bomb on the body.” Zhang Chunli reminded that in daily life, if a mass appears in the upper abdomen when standing, walking or coughing hard, and the mass disappears when lying down or squeezing the mass, this may be suffering from a hernia. Hernias should be treated promptly and operated on early. Once the treatment is not timely may lead to necrosis of the small intestine and need to perform an intestinal resection, which greatly increases the risk of surgery and the occurrence of complications.
