🔎How to diagnose hernias?
In general, doctors can diagnose if a patient has hernias with physical examination. Symptoms of hernia include a visible lump in the abdomen, which increases in size when the patient is coughing, standing or exercising, and it is reducible when the patient lays down.
👨⚕️How to treat hernias?
Hernia is a structural problem that is incurable by medication. Surgery is the only cure. Surgeries include conventional open surgery and minimally invasive laparoscopic repair that places a synthetic mesh at the weak point to prevent the intestine or other organs protrusion through the weak point, which leads to obstruction and ischemia.
💪Prevention:
Hernia is a structural problem which is relatively difficult to prevent in nature. However, by preventing exercises that stress the abdominal muscles such as sit-up and weight lifting, as well as having enough rest can avoid unnecessary pressure on the abdominal wall.
