Does hernia affect men's sexual function?

As parents, we must pay attention to the disease of hernia. If the disease of hernia recurs, it will cause great harm to the child. It often has an adverse effect on the child's digestive system. In addition, it may also have an adverse effect on the child's sexual function, because it can easily cause male testicular atrophy, leading to sexual dysfunction, and even cause male infertility in adulthood.

What are the dangers of hernia

Effects of Hernia on Digestion

Hernia is a common surgical disease in the human body, which is more common in the elderly and children. Hernia is a serious threat to the human body. In mild cases, it affects life, and in severe cases, it causes death. Especially when babies have hernias, you should pay more attention to it, as it can cause the baby to cry, regurgitate milk, affect growth, compress the nerves of the reproductive system and cause infertility. Once incarceration occurs, it can easily cause death.

If hernia is not treated in time, it will cause certain harm to the human body. In mild cases, it causes local bloating and pain, affecting the quality of life; in severe cases, when the small intestine protrudes from the hernia ring and gets stuck and cannot return to the abdominal cavity, it may be accompanied by severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal distension and other symptoms. If not treated promptly, the protruding small intestine will become tighter and tighter due to swelling, and eventually necrosis will occur due to ischemia. Worse cases may cause sepsis, which is life-threatening.

The impact of hernia on fertility

If hernia is not treated for a long time, it will affect human fertility. Because hernias are located very close to the human urinary and reproductive system, elderly patients are prone to symptoms such as urgency, frequent urination, and frequent urination at night. Children may experience symptoms such as sexual dysfunction because the hernia squeezes the testicles or reproductive organs, affecting the normal development of the reproductive system. Women may suffer from infertility.

Generally speaking, hernia first affects the patient's digestive system, resulting in symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, poor nutrient absorption, fatigue and physical deterioration. Because the groin is adjacent to the urinary and reproductive systems, elderly patients are prone to bladder or prostate diseases such as frequent urination, urgency, and nocturia; children may suffer from the normal development of the testicles due to the squeezing of hernias; and young and middle-aged patients are prone to sexual dysfunction. Also, because the intestines or omentum in the hernia sac are easily squeezed or collided, causing inflammatory swelling, it is difficult to reduce the hernia, leading to hernia incarceration, as well as dangerous situations such as intestinal obstruction, intestinal necrosis, and severe abdominal pain.

By understanding the harm that hernia can do to the human body, do you feel that hernia disease cannot be ignored and must be treated through the correct channels, such as consulting a hernia expert and going to a specialized hospital for a comprehensive physical examination and treatment? I believe that you can definitely overcome the difficulties of hernia disease.
