Treatment of inguinal hernia in men

Male inguinal hernia has become a secret that many male friends cannot tell. I believe that many of us have experienced male inguinal hernia. This disease has brought great distress to our lives and seriously affected our work, study and life. I believe that everyone wants to try all kinds of ways to treat our diseases and restore our health, but things do not go as planned. Many people do not receive timely treatment, causing the condition to worsen. So what are some good ways to treat male inguinal hernia? Let us learn about the treatment methods of male inguinal hernia.

Treatment:

1. Conservative treatment

Conservative treatments include hernia belts, hernia splints, and traditional Chinese medicine. These methods can relieve symptoms or delay the development of the disease, but they cannot cure it. Some improper conservative treatments can even aggravate the condition. This method is only suitable for infants under 2 years old, the elderly and weak, or those with serious illnesses. Special hernia belts are often used to press the hernia ring to relieve symptoms.

2.Surgery

Surgery is the only reliable method for treating inguinal hernia in adults, and it is less likely to recur. Elective surgery can be performed for easily reducible hernias, while surgery for irreducible hernias should be limited to a short period of time. Incarcerated hernias and strangulation hernias must be treated with emergency surgery to avoid serious consequences. Surgical treatment is divided into traditional tissue-to-tissue tension suture repair and tension-free hernia repair technology. Currently, the internationally recognized technique is tension-free hernia repair technology, including open surgery and laparoscopic surgery.

(1) Traditional surgery patients are required to fast before and after surgery, stay in bed for several days, receive intravenous drips, and have a urinary catheter placed. Patients experience severe pain after surgery, slow recovery, and a high recurrence rate. Many patients with coexisting heart, lung, and cerebrovascular diseases cannot undergo surgery because they cannot tolerate general or local anesthesia.

Open tension-free hernia repair surgery has been introduced from abroad and has quickly become popular. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, with a low recurrence rate and little pain. Generally, only 2 to 5 days of hospitalization are required, and the surgery can even be completed in an outpatient clinic, with a fast recovery after surgery.

(2) Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair In recent years, laparoscopic surgery has made significant progress. Laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) only requires two 0.5 cm incisions and one 1 cm incision. The abdominal cavity is not entered. The hernia sac is pulled back into the abdominal cavity outside the peritoneum, and then an artificial mesh is used to cover the hernial protrusion. This method is suitable for the treatment of bilateral inguinal hernia and recurrent hernia, and has small trauma, fast recovery, and low recurrence rate.

The above content introduces us how to treat male inguinal hernia. We can treat these problems well through the methods introduced above. These problems seem to be minor ailments, but they do bring great difficulties to our lives. We should discover and treat them early. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
