Patient Question: Disease:Lumbar disc herniation with hard girdle and severe hiatal hernia in the field of an old gentleman, currently more than ninety years old, more than 20 years ago got a hernia, when the doctor went to the hospital to see the doctor said to let the conservative treatment, and now it is serious, every day there is a bigger than an apple intestines fall to the inside of the scrotum, distension and discomfort, and the feeling of a hernia belt is not good to make it. Now the herniated lumbar disc is compressing the cauda equina nerve, causing incontinence and inability to walk. Orthopedic surgeon let with hard waist circumference, the family has some concerns, asked me to strangle on the waist support whether it will cause hernia incarceration. Answer: I thought, the old man because of lumbar synostosis need to use a hard waist cuff, will indeed slightly increase abdominal pressure, the two contradict each other, but does not necessarily lead to incarceration, only because of the current lumbar synostosis symptoms are very serious, we suggest that the use of waist cuffs to try in the event of a sudden incarceration of a hernia in severe pain, do not panic, lie down calmly, unlock the waist cuffs, buttock pads, the whole body relaxation, gently caressing hernia block, a few moments or can be returned to, and within half an hour can not be returned to still be severe pain. If you can’t get it back within half an hour and are still in severe pain, you should go to the emergency room right away without delay. Maybe I talk too much, the elderly hernia as long as the body is still good, there are surgical conditions, should be operated as soon as possible, so as not to appear today’s difficult situation, are not incurable when not timely treatment, but now it is difficult. Too many cases illustrate the reasoning of “small holes are not mended, big holes suffer”. I hope that Mr. Lao’s various illnesses can be controlled.
