Hernia is in the abdomen, especially the lower abdomen, the base of the thigh, which is medically called

Hernia contents are suddenly unable to be accepted, and those who experience symptoms such as pain are called incarcerated hernias. It is a severe complication of hernia. An incarcerated hernia can occur when the intra-abdominal pressure increases such as hard labor or severe coughing or defecation, but there is no obvious cause. The clinical manifestation is a sudden increase in hernia mass with severe pain. Lying flat or pushing the mass by hand cannot After receiving, the lump was tense and firm, and there was tenderness. Severe can be accompanied by paroxysmal local colic, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal distension and other acute intestinal obstruction symptoms.

The main measures are first aid measures and preventive measures.

First aid measures

1. When the hernia first appears, it is easy to accept the intestine. After the patient is lying flat, the tumor can often be returned to the abdominal cavity by hand. At this time, a "grumbling" sound can be heard.

2. If the hernia is a child, first comfort the child and don't cry. Because abdominal pressure increases when crying, it is more difficult to pay. In order to keep children from crying, they can be coaxed by feeding milk or taking a bath, and sometimes they can be cured by taking a bath. When a child is incarcerated, two layers of gauze or thin cotton cloth can be used to wrap an ice cube (which can also be replaced by ice lolly) to cold apply the affected area, and gently pressure the affected area until it is reset.

4. Sometimes recurrent hernias can get stuck outside the abdominal cavity and cannot be returned by hand. This type of hernia is called an impact hernia. It can cause severe pain, which can lead to serious consequences such as intestinal obstruction and intestinal necrosis over time.

5. The elderly should actively treat cough, asthma, poor urination, and constipation. At the same time, it is necessary to exercise properly from time to time to increase the strength of the abdominal muscles to prevent hernias.

6. If the hernia is incarcerated for more than 10 hours, it should be immediately sent to the hospital for emergency treatment to avoid danger.

4, pay attention to diet conditioning, choose foods rich in nutrition, easy to digest and absorb, in order to reduce the burden on the stomach, but also reduce the pressure on the hernia.

5. Preventing constipation and maintaining smooth stools are the key to preventing hernia, protecting hernia, and preventing incarceration.
