Hernia Surgery
Understanding Hernia
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Hernias can develop in various areas, including the abdomen, groin, upper thigh, and belly button.
Causes of Hernia
- Increased abdominal pressure due to obesity or chronic coughing
- Heavy lifting without proper support
- Multiple pregnancies leading to muscle strain
- Persistent constipation causing excessive straining
- Fluid buildup in the abdomen (ascites)
- Previous abdominal surgeries that weaken the muscle wall
- Genetic predisposition to weakened connective tissues
Symptoms of Hernia
- A bulge or swelling in the affected area
- Discomfort or pain that worsens with activity
- Pain while lifting or bending
- A dull aching sensation in the affected region
- Acid reflux or digestive discomfort in some cases
