Normally, a hernia does not affect fertility. This is because a hernia is a condition caused by a localized tissue defect that causes the intestines, omentum or other organs in the abdominal cavity to pass through the defect and reach the skin below. It can manifest locally as a mass that appears when standing and may disappear when lying down. However, more severe hernias may induce varicocele, which may then interfere with fertility. If a hernia is found, it is necessary to go to the general surgery department or abdominal wall hernia surgery department as soon as possible to complete relevant examinations and perform surgical treatment. Usually open hernia surgery or laparoscopic tension-free hernia repair is required, depending on the patient’s condition. During the treatment period, it is important to prevent constipation and not to do too much strenuous exercise to prevent the development of an incarcerated hernia.
