1. Actively prevent and treat cough, constipation, abdominal effusion, etc. to avoid increasing intra-abdominal pressure.

2. Elderly people should pay special attention to strengthening nutrition and abdominal muscle exercises to enhance abdominal muscle strength and improve abdominal wall strength.

3. Avoid excessive force, such as lifting weights, carrying heavy objects, etc.

4. Obese people should lose weight appropriately to reduce intra-abdominal pressure.

5. Actively treat primary diseases, such as chronic cough, constipation, liver cirrhosis, etc.

6. Avoid using tight belts and tight clothing to reduce pressure on the abdominal wall.

7. Avoid frequent constipation to avoid increased intra-abdominal pressure.

8. Actively perform abdominal muscle exercises to enhance abdominal muscle strength.

9. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time to reduce intra-abdominal pressure.

10. Actively treat primary diseases such as ascites, chronic cough, and constipation to reduce the risk of increased intra-abdominal pressure.

Protruding reducible mass in the groin area

The lump is oval or pear-shaped

The lower edge of the mass is the outer ring orifice

When the mass protrudes, the corresponding part of the outer ring mouth will bulge slightly.
