Is It a Hernia

是疝气吗

Something was wrong. Did he have a hernia again, in the same place? Thirty years ago he had a hernia. A doctor had repaired the hernia. Now he felt some pain. It was below his navel. It was to the left of his navel. It wasn't a sharp pain. It was a dull ache. It had started about two months ago. Now it was getting worse. Now it was a constant ache. He called a few doctors. "How much is a consult?" he asked. One doctor said $300. Another doctor said $350. That's a lot of money, he thought. Maybe this ache will go away, he thought. Maybe it'll go away by itself. He decided to wait another week. Then I'll make an appointment, he thought. I'll spend the money. It's a lot of money. But it's cheaper to fix a small problem now than a big problem later.

哪里出了问题。他是不是又在同一个地方患了疝气？30年前他患了疝气。医生帮他进行了治疗。如今，他又感到了疼痛。疼痛感在肚脐的下部。在肚脐的左面。这种疼不是刺痛。而是隐隐作痛。疼痛开始于2个月前。现在变得更加严重了。现在是持续疼痛。他叫了几名医生。他问道：“咨询费是多少？”一名医生说300美金。另一名说350美金。他想这么多钱。他想疼痛会过去的。或许它会痊愈的。他决定再等一周。之后再进行预约。我会花钱。花很多的钱。但是现在花钱看小病总比将来看大病要便宜。
