Does a hernia affect fertility

Normally, hernias do not affect fertility. This is because a hernia is a condition in which a localized tissue defect causes the intestines, omentum, or other organs in the abdominal cavity to pass through the defect and reach the underside of the skin. Locally, it can manifest as a mass that appears when standing and may disappear when lying down. However, more severe hernias may induce varicocele, which may then affect fertility. If you find a hernia, you need to go to the general surgery department or the abdominal wall hernia surgery department as soon as possible to complete the relevant examinations and undergo surgical treatment. Generally need to perform open hernia surgery, or laparoscopic tension-free hernia repair, the specific type of surgery needs to be based on the patient’s condition to decide. During the period of treatment, it is necessary to prevent constipation, and at the same time do not do too strenuous exercise, in order to prevent the occurrence of incarcerated hernia.
