Q. My groin bulges out (Hernia).

A.

An inguinal hernia occurs when the intestines protrude through an incompletely closed opening in the abdominal wall muscles. While spontaneous healing can occur, surgery is generally recommended due to the risk of bowel incarceration (strangulation) and subsequent necrosis. After surgery, Junggi-tang is used to strengthen the abdominal wall muscles and prevent recurrence.

📝 Detailed Answer

울거나 힘줄 때 더 튀어나옵니다.

  • 응급: 튀어나온 게 안 들어가고 아이가 자지러지게 울면 장이 낀 거니 바로 응급실 가세요.
  • 한방: 수술 후 회복을 돕고 기운을 끌어올려(승기) 장이 처지는 것을 막아줍니다.
💡 변비 관리

변비로 배에 힘을 많이 주면 탈장이 재발할 수 있으니 쾌변 관리가 중요합니다.
