Is the hernia serious?

The severity of hernia

is closely related to the hernia contents. If the hernia contents are only some omentum tissue, etc., it usually does not cause serious problems, but if it is an important organ such as intestine, and incarceration and strangulation occur, it may lead to serious consequences such as intestinal ischemia and necrosis, which is a very dangerous situation. The frequency and symptoms of hernia also affect its severity. If hernia is often prominent and difficult to recover, accompanied by obvious pain, even affecting daily activities and quality of life, this situation is relatively serious and requires prompt medical treatment. In addition, the patient's own health status should also be considered. For elderly patients or patients with other serious underlying diseases, the presence of hernia may increase health risks, making the condition more complicated and difficult.
