Chosun Ilbo’s YouTube medical content “It Gets Better This Way” released an episode on “Hernia” that anyone can experience on the 8th. Lee Seong-ryeol, director of Damsoyu Hospital, an authority in the field of hernia who has performed over 20,000 hernia surgeries, appeared and introduced the risks and symptoms of hernia.
A hernia is a disease in which an organ moves out of place and protrudes through another tissue. It is so common that 1 in 10 people worldwide suffer from a hernia. It can occur anywhere in the body, but inguinal hernias are especially common. Hospital director Lee said: “In the case of a hernia in children, boys are missing the small intestine and large intestine, and girls are missing the ovaries. If the surgery is not performed, a situation may arise of greater emergency, surgical intervention is mandatory.”
If you do this, it will heal the hernia. /Oh! Health
Even in adults, hernias can occur as the strength of the muscles that support the organs weakens with age. Although it increases after age 30, hernias can also occur in people in their 70s and 80s. Adult hernias usually occur when the omentum, a fatty tissue that covers the small and small intestine, prolapses. In particular, the risk of hernia increases if you have undergone surgery for prostate cancer. Hospital director Lee said: “Because the scope of prostate cancer surgery overlaps with that of hernia, the muscles become weak” and “even if prostate surgery is successful, the risk of hernia increases”.
If a hernia is left untreated for a long time, it becomes “trapped” so that blood cannot flow to the organ. Hospital director Lee said: “Through laparoscopic surgery, both children and adults can be treated easily enough to be discharged in one day, so you can visit the hospital without worrying too much.” You can watch “This Gets Better” by searching for “Oh!” on the home page or in the YouTube app.
