A hernia occurs when an internal organ or other body part protrudes through the wall of muscle or tissue that normally contains it. Most hernias occur within the abdominal cavity, between the chest and the hips. They grow large over time, as the pressure inside the abdomen pushes on the area of weakness.
Hernias can be diagnosed by your surgeon after a physical examination. The diagnosis would usually require a confirmation with either an USG or CT scan. There are many types of hernias, based on factors such as location in the body and cause.
Inguinal and femoral hernias are due to weakness in the groin that may have been present since birth, or are associated with aging and repeated strains on the abdominal and groin areas. Such strain may come from physical exertion, obesity, pregnancy, frequent coughing, or straining on the toilet due to constipation or straining for micturition.
Adults may get an umbilical hernia by straining the abdominal area, being overweight, having a long-lasting heavy cough or after giving birth.
A hernia in the abdomen or groin can produce a noticeable lump or bulge that can be pushed back in, or that can disappear when lying down. Laughing, crying, coughing, and straining during a bowel movement or physical activity may make the lump reappear after it has been pushed in. This lump may be associated with dull, pulling, dragging kind of pain in lower abdomen.
Sometimes hernias can present with acute pain which may result from the hernia getting obstructed within its sac. This may be associated with nausea, vomiting and in later stages, abdominal distension and complete stoppage of bowels (stools). Rarely, the hernia contents can strangulate and both obstruction and strangulation necessitates an emergency surgery, which is most often an open surgery.
Due to these dreaded complications, more often than not, surgery is advised and accepted by most patients. Doing it as an elective surgery has many benefits rather than an emergency setting when laparoscopic (keyhole) repair may not be feasible and patient ends up with a large painful incision with extended recovery times.
