The abdominal hernia’s “recurring, painful, and worsening” symptoms must be treated surgically.
When asked how he felt as he was leaving the hospital, Francis jokingly replied, “Still alive, you know,” according to the website. When asked how he felt, Francis gave a positive response.

According to a statement from the Vatican’s Matteo Bruni, Pope Francis recently “complained of some respiratory difficulties” before going to Policlinico A. Gemelli for “medical checks,” as reported by CNN. Later, Pope Francis was hospitalized for bronchitis.

The test findings, according to the spokesman (except the COVID-19 infection), showed a respiratory infection that would require a few days of appropriate hospital medical treatment. The numerous messages the pope has received have touched him, and he is grateful for everyone’s support and prayers.

Before being admitted to the hospital for that infection, the publications claim that the pope gave a speech during his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square. The Vatican later stated that he was sent to the hospital for “previously scheduled tests.”
