Symptoms of abdominal wall hernia in women

There are many types of abdominal wall hernia, and the treatments for different types of abdominal wall hernia are also different. Therefore, before treatment, a detailed examination must be done to diagnose which type of abdominal hernia it is in order to use appropriate methods and medication to achieve good treatment results. Therefore, timely and accurate examination is still very necessary, and everyone should be clear about this.

Abdominal wall hernia in women

There are many types of abdominal wall hernia, including inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, abdominal wall hernia, white line hernia, lumbar hernia, incisional hernia, etc. They are mainly caused by the weakness of the abdominal cavity and the increase of intra-abdominal pressure, which causes the internal organs in the abdomen to protrude outward and form abdominal lumps. The lump usually appears when the patient stands up, coughs, laughs, etc. The lump returns to the abdomen when lying down or pressing lightly. The patient may experience abdominal heaviness and pain. If the patient is a woman, the herniated contents may include the uterus, ovaries, bilateral fallopian tubes, and bladder, which may cause relative discomfort. Abdominal wall hernia in female patients needs to be treated surgically.

The two tests that patients with abdominal wall hernia need to do are as follows:

1. B-ultrasound examination can be performed, because there are typical lumps with changing sizes on the abdominal cavity. In the early stage, they will disappear when the patient lies down, but they will reappear when standing up or exerting force. B-ultrasound examination can effectively detect the location of the lump, as well as the size and degree of the disease, which is very helpful for the diagnosis of abdominal wall hernia. Patients must be on an empty stomach before B-ultrasound examination and do not drink or eat to avoid affecting the test results.

2. CT examination can also be used. The results of CT examination are intuitive and accurate. For mild abdominal wall hernia, the diagnosis can be confirmed by a detailed understanding of the medical history and B-ultrasound examination. However, for some patients with complex abdominal wall hernia and patients with atypical symptoms of abdominal wall hernia, relevant imaging diagnostic examinations are needed to assist in the diagnosis. CT examination is of great help in determining the size of the lesion, so it is also the most common method of diagnostic examination for abdominal wall hernia.

Diseases such as abdominal wall hernia can cause great harm to the body, so prevention should be done in daily life. Because abdominal wall hernia is also caused by congenital local damage factors, it is more difficult to prevent, but some of it is caused by acquired factors, so attention should be paid to preventing abdominal wall hernia caused by acquired factors. Female obesity is the most common cause of abdominal wall hernia, so weight must be controlled. If the fetus is too large during pregnancy, it can easily cause abdominal wall hernia in women, so attention should also be paid to controlling the baby's weight during pregnancy.
