People often have bulging stomachs in daily life, especially when lying flat, the lower right abdomen often has a bulge. This situation is very likely caused by hernia. Of course, the most important thing about the bulge in the abdomen is to check it carefully to understand what disease caused it so that effective measures can be taken in time to treat it, so as to avoid more serious situations.

Considering the high possibility that it is caused by hernia, it is best to do a color ultrasound examination. If it is a hernia, it is recommended to undergo surgery. Minimally invasive surgery, hernia repair, or high hernia ligation can be used to treat it, which may have certain effects.

Treatment strategy: conservative treatment or surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatment: Children under one year old do not need surgery for the time being because the hernia may disappear on its own. A hernia belt can be used to compress the deep ring. If surgical treatment of hernia is not handled in time, the hernia may gradually increase in size, the symptoms may worsen, and even incarceration or strangulation may occur, threatening the patient's life. Therefore, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible.

Daily care 1. Reduce factors that lead to increased abdominal pressure, such as excessive crying, obesity, prevent constipation, and prevent severe coughing caused by respiratory tract infections. 2. Prevent scrotal edema: Because the scrotum is relatively loose and located lower, blood and exudate are easily accumulated there. After the operation, a dry towel should be placed under the scrotum to avoid edema. 3. Gradually increase activity. Avoid heavy physical labor or lifting heavy objects within 3 months. Avoid severe coughing and straining to defecate, which can easily lead to recurrence. 4. Prevent incision infection: Keep the incision dressing clean and dry, avoid contamination by urine and feces, and pay attention to observe the skin around the incision for redness, swelling, pain and daily body temperature. Diet care: If there is no nausea, vomiting or other discomfort, you can eat liquid food (rice soup, fish soup, etc.) 6-12 hours after the operation. Do not eat gas-producing foods such as milk and soy products for the time being, and gradually transition to a normal diet. You should eat less spicy and greasy food, and focus on light food that is high in vitamins, calories, and protein, and eat small meals frequently.
