Symptoms of recurrent inguinal hernia

summary

The recurrence rate of inguinal hernia is about 4% - 10%. The most likely time of recurrence was within 6-12 months after operation. The recurrence rate of direct inguinal hernia was 4 times that of indirect hernia. The recurrence rate of recurrent hernia after repair was higher. Let's talk about the symptoms of recurrent inguinal hernia.

Symptoms of recurrent inguinal hernia

1. Incarcerated hernia block can not be returned to the abdominal cavity, and the pain is obviously aggravated, persistent and tender. If the incarcerated hernia content is intestinal tube, abdominal colic, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal distension and other intestinal obstruction symptoms may appear.

3. It is easy to form refractory hernia because of adhesion between abdominal organs and hernia sac.

matters needing attention

Some scholars believe that nearly 1 / 3 of recurrent hernia occurs after 5-10 years, and the long-term recurrence rate is stable at a certain percentage. This clinical reality shows that recurrent hernia seems to have nothing to do with the first surgical technique, but with the body's own disease. In addition to some diseases that increase intra-abdominal pressure, it is believed that it is related to the imbalance of collagen synthesis and decomposition. Berliner also confirmed the rupture and lack of elastic tissue fibers in the transverse fascia of abdomen in patients with indirect hernia and patients with direct hernia. These evidences indicate that there are still some unknown factors affecting the recurrence of inguinal hernia.
