PHARMACEUTICAL CARE ISSUES
• No pharmaceutical care issues found the prescription was
rational.
DISCUSSION
• A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through an opening in the
muscle or tissue that holds it in place. For example, the intestines may
break through a weakened area in the abdominal wall.
• Many hernias occur in the abdomen between your chest and hips, but
they can also appear in the upper thigh and groin areas.
TYPES CAUSES
DIRECT AND INDIRECT HERNIA
SYMPTOMS
• A bulge in the area on either side of your pubic bone,which becomes
more obvious when you’ re upright ,especially if you cough or strain.
• A burning or aching sensation at the bulge.
• Pain or discomfort in your groin,especially when bending
over,coughing or lifting.
• A heavy or dragging sensation in your groin.
• Occasionally,pain and swelling around the testicles when the
protruding intestine descends into the scrotum.
DIAGNOSIS
• Doctor diagnise by physical examination.
• Usg of scrotal region
TREATMENT
• Surgery is the primary treatment for
inguinal hernias. This is a very common
and highly successful operation when
done by a well-trained surgeon.
• Surgery options include:
• Open inguinal herniorrhaphy. In open
inguinal herniorrhaphy, one larger incision
is made over the abdomen near the groin.
• Laparoscopic inguinal
herniorrhaphy. In laparoscopic inguinal
herniorrhaphy, multiple smaller
abdominal incisions are made. A long,
thin tube with a lighted camera on the end
helps the surgeon see inside your body to
perform the surgery.
PREVENTION AND PATIENT
COUNSELLING
• Maintain a healthy weight for you.
• Eat a high-fiber diet.
• Quit smoking cigarettes. Quitting is often difficult, but a doctor can
help build a cessation plan that works for you.
• Avoid heavy lifting.
