Understanding Hernia — When Surgery is Needed
A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. In Ahmedabad's lifestyle, hernias are commonly caused by heavy lifting, chronic cough, obesity, or genetic factors affecting the abdominal wall strength.
Types of Hernias We Treat
- Inguinal Hernia (75%): Most common, occurs in the groin area
- Ventral/Incisional Hernia: Develops at previous surgery sites
- Umbilical Hernia: Around the belly button area
- Hiatal Hernia: Stomach pushes through diaphragm
- Femoral Hernia: More common in women, in upper thigh
- Epigastric Hernia: Between chest and navel
🔍 Do You Have These Hernia Symptoms?
- Visible bulge in groin, abdomen, or chest area
- Pain or discomfort when lifting, bending, or coughing
- Heaviness or pressure in abdomen or groin
- Heartburn, difficulty swallowing (hiatal hernia)
- Pain that worsens at end of day
- Bulge disappears when lying down
- Nausea, vomiting (in severe cases)
