Important factors in the development of hernia in the elderly are difficulty in urination caused by prostate enlargement, chronic cough caused by chronic bronchitis and chronic constipation and other diseases that cause long-term increase in abdominal pressure. Especially in winter, it is the high incidence season of hernia in the elderly. This is because, firstly, cardiopulmonary diseases tend to aggravate in the elderly, making them prone to coughing, constipation and difficulty in urination, thus causing an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, leading to the occurrence of inguinal hernia or aggravation of the original inguinal hernia, or even incarceration. Secondly, in cold weather, the elasticity and extension of muscles, tendons and ligaments are reduced, and the cold stimulation of muscles causes muscle spasm, causing the original hernia to become ingrown. According to statistics, more than 50% of the incarcerated hernias occur in winter. To prevent inguinal hernia in winter, elderly people should pay attention to the following points: prevent functional diseases such as heart, lung, liver, kidney and prostate; quit smoking to avoid respiratory infections and coughs that may lead to inguinal hernia; pay attention to keeping warm to prevent colds; increase activities in moderation to enhance physical fitness; eat easily digestible food, drink more water, increase coarse fiber vegetables such as cabbage and celery in moderation, avoid spicy and other stimulating diets, and keep urine and stool Keep urine and stool smooth; minimize or avoid heavy physical labor.
