Wuhan Evening News (Correspondent Liu Shanshan) I heard that stomping vigorously can improve health. Grandpa Zhang, who is over seventy years old, stomps his feet for 10 minutes every morning during morning exercise, but he did not expect that because of the excessive force, the weak abdominal wall was shattered and the small intestine fell out of the abdominal cavity. come out.
Fortunately, the doctor sought medical treatment in time, and the doctor returned the intestinal tube through daytime minimally invasive surgery.
Grandpa Zhang, who lives in Hankou, is 72 years old this year. He pays special attention to health and exercise. He goes to the park near his home to play Tai Chi and take a walk every day.
More than a month ago, he heard about a health regimen that can promote blood circulation, "stomp your feet hard in the morning and soak your feet in hot water before going to bed". Grandpa Zhang decided to give it a try.
Last month, when he was exercising in the park, he stomped his foot hard and suddenly felt a burst of pain in the root of his right thigh. When he came home, he found a small lump in the groin area on the right side.
Grandpa Zhang didn't pay much attention to it. He continued to go to the park to stomp and exercise every day, but found that the bag in the groin area was gradually increasing, and sometimes he couldn't touch and press it at all.
Grandpa Zhang thought he had a "tumor" and was so frightened that he hurried to Wuhan Central Hospital for treatment.
After inspection, it was found that Grandpa Zhang suffered from a right inguinal hernia. A "hole" of about 2 cm in size had been formed in the right inguinal area, and the small intestine in the abdominal cavity "dropped out" from the crack.
Fortunately, he sought medical treatment in time, and the small intestine had not yet been compressed or incarcerated. Dr. Rowan, a hernia and abdominal wall surgeon, informed that the inguinal hernia could be repaired by daytime minimally invasive surgery.
After completing the relevant examinations, experts in hernia and abdominal wall surgery performed laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, repositioned the fallen bowel, and repaired the gap in the abdominal wall.
On the second day after the operation, Grandpa Zhang was discharged from the hospital.
Wang Yong, Director of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, Day Surgery Center, Wuhan Central Hospital, introduced that inguinal hernia is a very common type of abdominal wall hernia disease. high rate.
This time, Grandpa Zhang's illness had a lot to do with his stomping and exercising too hard.
The abdominal wall of the elderly is relatively weak, and lifting heavy objects, coughing, and even defecation may increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity, and the weak part of the abdominal wall is the first to appear.
As the abdominal pressure increases, the "hole" in the weak part of the abdominal wall also becomes larger and larger. At this time, it is easy to cause hernia incarceration, causing intestinal obstruction. If the stuck intestinal tube is not returned in time, it may lead to intestinal obstruction for more than 24 hours. Avascular necrosis, even life-threatening.
