    Symptoms of hernia will first appear in the groin, where a hard lump can be seen or even touched. This kind of hard lump will gradually expand and cannot disappear with gentle pressure. There is no pain. Some lumps may appear when standing up and disappear after lying down, or return to the abdomen.

    The symptoms of hernia are very complicated, and I believe many people don’t understand them well. So what are the symptoms of hernia in men?

    1、

    abdominal mass

    An oval or pear-shaped lump will appear on a man's inner thigh or just below his lower abdomen. Sometimes the lump will land on the pudenda. The key is when standing up, especially when exercising excessively, coughing, or bearing heavy weights. The lump can be retracted into the abdomen when lying down.

    2. Abdominal lifting

    The most obvious symptom of men's hernia is a swelling in the abdomen during exercise, coughing, etc., which disappears when lying down or resting. However, the hernia mass will grow larger and fall out for a long time, causing pain and pain. Sometimes it will fall into the urethra, colon and other internal organs and squeeze the testicles and spermatozoa, causing urinary symptoms such as urgency and frequency of urination, and the patient himself will also be in pain.

    3. Reducible hernia

    In the early stage of male hernia, the lump can subside when the child lies down and is quiet; as the abdominal pressure continues to increase, the lump can sink into the vagina. At this time, if the factors that increase the intra-abdominal pressure can be eliminated, and the patient is asked to lie down, or the mass is slowly pushed toward the abdomen, the mass can return to the abdomen through the passage when the testicles descend, and the mass disappears. This situation is called a reversible hernia.

    4. Swelling pain and referred pain

    Occasionally there is local swelling pain and referred pain, but generally there is no special discomfort. As the disease progresses, the lump may gradually expand and affect daily life. Drag hernias are more common on the right side, and the upper and lower incidence ratio is about 1:6. When incarceration occurs, the hernia mass suddenly expands, accompanied by significant pain and obvious tenderness, and the hernia contents cannot be recovered.

    How to treat sexual hernia?

    Men's inguinal hernias fall into the following categories. Indirect inguinal hernia is common in adolescents and children, middle-aged and elderly people, direct hernia and rare femoral hernia in the elderly.

    1. If the general condition is good and there are no medical records of prostatitis, constipation, or abdominal distension, we will use patch repair without support.

    2. For older patients with abnormal heart function and unable to withstand anesthesia, hernia belts can be used.

    3. Unless the hernia is incarcerated and requires emergency surgery.
