Hernia Specialist in Thane – By Dr. Ankur Bhanushali
What Is a Hernia?
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It commonly appears as a visible bulge and may cause pain or discomfort, especially during physical activity.
Hernias do not heal on their own and usually require surgery.
Common Types of Hernia
Hernias are classified as:
✔ Inguinal hernia
✔ Femoral hernia
✔ Umbilical hernia
✔ Incisional hernia
✔ Epigastric hernia
✔ Hiatal hernia
Each type differs in location and severity.
Causes of Hernia
Hernias may develop due to:
✔ Weak abdominal muscles
✔ Heavy lifting
✔ Chronic coughing
✔ Constipation and straining
✔ Obesity
✔ Pregnancy
✔ Previous abdominal surgery
Both lifestyle and genetic factors play a role.
Symptoms of Hernia
Common symptoms include:
✔ Visible bulge that increases on coughing
✔ Pain or burning sensation
✔ Heaviness or pressure in the abdomen
✔ Discomfort while standing or lifting
✔ Nausea in severe cases
Symptoms may worsen over time.
When a Hernia Becomes Dangerous
Urgent treatment is needed if there is:
✔ Sudden severe pain
✔ Redness or tenderness over the bulge
✔ Vomiting
✔ Inability to pass gas or stool
These signs may indicate strangulation.
Diagnosis of Hernia
Diagnosis involves:
✔ Physical examination
✔ Ultrasound abdomen
✔ CT scan in complex cases
Imaging helps plan surgery accurately.
Non-Surgical Management of Hernia
Temporary relief may include:
✔ Avoiding heavy lifting
✔ Managing constipation
✔ Hernia belts (short-term use only)
Definitive treatment is surgical repair.
Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery offers:
✔ Small incisions
✔ Less pain
✔ Faster recovery
✔ Short hospital stay
✔ Lower recurrence rates
It is the preferred method for many hernias.
Open Hernia Repair
Open surgery may be advised for:
✔ Large hernias
✔ Complicated or recurrent hernias
✔ Patients not suitable for laparoscopy
Mesh repair strengthens the muscle wall.
Recovery After Hernia Surgery
Post-surgery recovery includes:
✔ Early mobilization
✔ Pain control
✔ Gradual return to work
✔ Avoiding strain for few weeks
Most patients resume normal activities quickly.
Complications of Untreated Hernia
Delaying treatment can lead to:
✔ Incarceration
✔ Strangulation
✔ Intestinal obstruction
✔ Emergency surgery
Early planned surgery is safer.
