A hernia is a protrusion of a part of a tissue or an organ, beyond its original location and are of various types: Inguinal hernia occurs when a part of the intestine protrudes through weak lower abdominal wall-most often the inguinal canal (more common in men). Umbilical hernias are similar and occur in babies and children seen as a lump near the belly button. A hiatal or diaphragmatic hernia occurs when a part of the stomach tissue pushes through the diaphragm (a respiratory muscle in the chest area ). A ventral hernia is most often seen in the abdominal area.
A hernia can develop due to excessive strain during physical activity or may be present at birth, and can occur due to trauma from previous surgery.The risk factors for developing a hernia are:
Hernias usually do not go away on their own (except for a few umbilical hernias) without proper medical care and become painful and larger in size. At times, the tissue involved in a hernia may become twisted to limit the blood supply and develop into strangulated hernia that requires urgent medical attention and treatment.
One must avoid excessive physical activity, eat a healthy diet, avoid smoking and treat any underlying chronic diseases by a suitable doctor to prevent the symptoms of the hernia from aggravating. The doctor might suggest some light exercises for better healing as well.
Care is given to relieve the symptoms in cases of smaller size hernias (e.g. supportive truss) under observation, But if it becomes too painful or larger in size, the doctor might suggest open surgery or laparoscopic surgical options. One must visit a general physician surgeon or surgical gastroenterologist for further details.
Untreated hernias can obstruct bowel movements, permanently stick the organ out of the abdominal wall (incarceration), cause strangulation (which can be fatal) or pressurize surrounding tissues. These complications can be difficult to treat and cause huge pain and swelling. The hernia will continue to increase in size whenever there is a strain on the abdomen, it will pain every time you lift weight, cough, laugh, sneeze and even during your bowel movement.
Usually, doctors do not recommend hernia surgery for pregnant women and prefer to wait till childbirth. But sometimes they may suggest an emergency surgery during second trimester. However, the surgeon considers all possible scenarios before operating the hernia.
Generally, the hernia does not recur. But some patients develop incisional hernia later after months or years, which can be prevented by strictly following the doctor’s post-surgery instructions.
Sleep in an elevated position while keeping one or more pillows behind your back. Also, take assistance when necessary as well as when getting up and out of the bed and vice-versa.
A mesh may not be mandate in minimal tears but is always advised as a precautionary measure since the abdomen wall becomes weak after a hernia and there is an increased chance of recurrence without a mesh.
No, surgery is a must for treating hernias.
No, it is not malign and is also not an abnormal growth. It’s rather an organ that has slipped inside the muscle tear.
Yes, we do offer free transportation to and from the hospital where the surgery is conducted. We pick you up from your home for the surgery to be done and drop you back after the surgery is completed.
