Hernias are caused by organs or internal tissues entering through muscles. Surgery to repair hernias, or hemorrhages, involves repositioning the tissues that have been displaced.
What are The Common Types of Hernia?
-
- Inguinal Hernia (inner groin)
- Incisional Hernia (resulting from an incision)
- Femoral Hernia (outer groin)
- Umbilical Hernia (belly button)
- Hiatal Hernia (upper stomach)
What Are The Main Causes of Hernia?
Hernias are rare occurrences except in the rare case of an incisional Hernia effect by abdominal surgery. Hernias seem to be more prevalent with the aging process. Women are more at risk of hernias than men.
Hernia can be originated by the following activities or medical conditions:
-
- Straining on the toilet
- Persistent cough
- Enlarged prostate
- Cystic fibrosis
- Straining to urinate
- Obesity
- Abdominal fluid
- Lifting heavy items
- Peritoneal dialysis
- Poor nutrition
- Smoking
- Physical exertion
- Undescended testicles
How are Hernias Diagnosed?
When a hernia is diagnosed, a physical examination can often determine whether it is direct inguinal hernias or incisional hernias. When one stands, coughs, or stretches, an abdominal or groin bulge may be noticed.
An endoscopy is used to detect a hiatal hernia. An endoscopy involves threading a tiny camera down a tube into the gullet and abdomen in order to observe the hernia. Barium X-rays are used to examine the digestive system.

What Happens If You Ignore A Hernia?
When you ignore a hernia, the protection layer you have on top of your internal organs is compromised. In the abdomen, we have muscles, connective tissue, and fat. Each has its place and function.
Hernias are causality by a bulge in a weak part of the abdomen effect by fat or an organ pushing through a weakness. This is how fatty tissue or organs can push through weakened areas.
The bulge may start small and grow with time, or it may appear suddenly or wax and wane. Most patients do not feel pain, but not all hernias require surgery. It is important not to ignore hernia symptoms if you notice any.
Recovery Phase of Hernia Treatment
Many people are able to return to many of their regular activities within a day or two if they take it easy during recovery. In some cases, it may take longer depending on how extensive the procedure was and how long the doctor took to repair the abdominal wall. It takes very little time to recover after hernia surgery, but it’s important to follow all of the doctor’s instructions.
When do you Need Hernia Treatment?
Following are some conditions that may lead your doctor to recommend surgery. As it grows, the hernia causes pain and discomfort since part of your bowel get caught against the abdominal wall and is unable to push back, causing a lump in your groin, nausea, and vomiting.
A hernia that has become strangulated (the bulging tissue has lost its blood flow) is a medical emergency that requires immediate surgical intervention, or else it may result in infection or death.
