thinks hernia disease is caused by weak abdominal wall muscles. The 48-year-old hotel chef blindly treats the disease through diet therapy. However, in just three months, the hernia mass grew from the size of a ping-pong ball to the size of a fist, and intestinal instillation occurred. Fortunately, he received timely medical treatment, which avoided the serious consequences of intestinal necrosis .
Hankou Master Li lives in Hankou this year is 48 years old. He is a chef in a hotel with 30 years of cooking experience. Half a year ago, Master Li was cooking in the hotel kitchen. He suddenly pushed the spoon hard and suddenly felt a swelling and pain in the groin area of on the right. After a rest, he relieved again, so he didn't care. When he got home after work, he accidentally found a small mass in the right groin area where the swelling and pain appeared on his right groin area. He pressed it with his hand and it disappeared. Afterwards, he checked the condition online and found that his symptoms were particularly similar to hernia. He learned that hernia disease was related to weak abdominal wall muscles, so he wanted to cure hernia through diet therapy. As a chef, he has developed a set of recipes for himself to gain muscle and consume a lot of high-protein foods every day. After taking
for three months, the lumps in Master Li's groin area not only did not eliminate it, but also became significantly larger. From the size of a ping-pong ball to the size of a fist, he also gained more than 10 kilograms. The day before yesterday, when he was cooking in the kitchen as usual, he suddenly felt a burst of severe pain in the right groin area, and the originally prominent hernia mass became extremely hard. Seeing this, his colleagues quickly sent him to the Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery of Wuhan Central Hospital for treatment. After examination, the doctor confirmed that he had a right inguinal hernia and had a hernia incarceration, and the local intestinal duct was unable to completely return to the patient. If the surgery is not done in time, the intestines are at risk of necrosis. After quickly completing the relevant preoperative examinations, Director Wang Yong of the Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, attending physician Luo Wen, etc. performed a laparoscopic minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery on Master Li, reconciling the intestinal contents and repairing the damaged area of the abdomen intact. The day after the operation, Master Li was successfully discharged from the hospital.
Wang Yong, director of the Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery in the Day Surgery Department of Wuhan Central Hospital, introduced that in clinical practice, many patients believed that the cause of hernia was related to weak abdominal wall tissue, and tried to cure hernia through diet therapy or exercise, which resulted in increasing abdominal pressure. As the abdominal pressure increases, the "holes" in the weak abdominal wall continue to grow larger, which is easy to cause hernia to become insufficiency. If the stuck intestinal duct is not reconciled in time, it will cause intestinal necrosis and even endanger life.
Experts remind that adult hernia cannot heal themselves, which is equivalent to a hole in the abdominal wall, and tissues in the abdominal cavity, such as intestinal canal and large omentum, bulge out through this hole. Standardized surgical repair is the only effective cure. At present, inguinal hernia can be solved through day surgery , and the patient can be discharged 24 hours after the operation. Therefore, once diagnosed, surgical treatment should be done as soon as possible to prevent abdominal internal organs from hernia and local pressure and insufflation caused serious consequences.
