Symptoms of small intestinal hernia in men

Small intestinal hernias in men usually appear in the groin area of ​​the lower abdomen and thighs, appearing as lumps protruding from the body surface.

Men's hernias are generally oval or pear-shaped. When the intra-abdominal pressure increases when standing, exercising strenuously, laughing, coughing hard, constipation, etc., the mass in the general area will bulge. The mass will bulge when resting, lying down or pressing with hands. When lying down, the mass will appear normal and cannot be seen by the naked eye. The tumor may become larger and larger over time, causing obvious swelling or pain. The tumor may also enter the scrotum. If it is not treated for a long time, strangulation or intestinal necrosis may occur, leading to severe abdominal pain or shock. If the condition is more serious, you need to go to the hospital for comprehensive examination, and surgical removal can be used to achieve a complete cure.

After surgical treatment, you must pay attention to local care measures. Do not do strenuous activities in a short period of time, and do not wear tight-fitting underwear, which may easily cause obvious squeezing of the skin and may cause infection. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs can promote the disappearance of inflammation. Go to the hospital for regular review to avoid recurrence. Strengthen the nutrition of the body and eat more high-quality protein foods, such as milk, eggs or lean meat, which can promote wound healing.
