Can I drink alcohol if I have hernia

In fact, hernia is a disease that mainly occurs in infants, but now many young people also suffer from this disease, so this disease has no age limit. However, no matter what age people are, they cannot drink alcohol when they suffer from this disease, otherwise it will make the disease difficult to cure. They should eat more high-vitamin foods.

Dietary recommendations:

Eat mainly light foods that are high in vitamins, calories and protein, eat small meals frequently, and eat less spicy and greasy foods.

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.

The cause of the lump is increased abdominal pressure, such as crying, coughing, defecation, urination, etc. Older children can be asked to stand up and apply force to the abdomen, which can also induce a lump to appear in the groin area, and some will reach the scrotum or labia. The lump is formed by the prolapse of organs in the abdominal cavity into the hernia bag. The prolapsed organs are mostly small intestines, so they feel soft to the touch. Other parts such as the large intestine, appendix, and omentum may also prolapse. In women, ovarian prolapse is more common, so a thumb-sized, hard, and often tender lump can often be felt. Some children may experience constipation, loss of appetite, and may be prone to crying and restlessness.

Treatment principles:

Surgical treatment should be given promptly to prevent incarceration.

Treatment guidelines:

Conservative treatment or surgical treatment.

Surgical treatment:

If hernia is not treated promptly, the hernia mass 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.

Other treatments:

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.

Prognosis:

If hernia is treated promptly, the prognosis is good.
