What is Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It commonly develops in areas like the abdomen or groin and may cause noticeable bulging, discomfort, or pain, especially when lifting objects or straining. Hernias can be caused by factors such as muscle weakness, excessive pressure, obesity, or previous surgical incisions. While some hernias may not cause immediate harm, they do not heal on their own and may worsen over time. Treatment often involves surgical repair, with laparoscopic hernia surgery being a preferred option for its minimally invasive approach, quicker recovery, and reduced risk of complications.

Early Detection of Hernia: Know the Signs & Symptoms

Hernias can develop gradually and may not always cause immediate discomfort. However, identifying early symptoms of hernia is essential for timely diagnosis and treatment. At Chennai Gastro Care (CGC), our hernia specialists in Chennai emphasize the importance of early intervention to prevent complications and ensure effective management.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Hernia

A Visible Bulge or Swelling:

One of the most noticeable signs of a hernia is a bulge or lump in the affected area, which may become more prominent when standing, coughing, or straining.

Pain or Discomfort During Physical Activity:

Many patients experience pain, pressure, or discomfort in the hernia region, especially while lifting heavy objects, bending, or engaging in physical activities.

Burning or Aching Sensation:

A burning, sharp, or aching pain in the groin, abdomen, or near the navel can indicate the presence of a hernia. The discomfort may intensify over time if left untreated.

Acid Reflux and Difficulty Swallowing (Specific to Hiatus Hernia):

Patients with hiatus hernia may experience persistent acid reflux, heartburn, chest pain, bloating, and difficulty swallowing due to the stomach pushing through the diaphragm.

Pain That Worsens with Straining or Prolonged Standing:

Hernia-related pain tends to worsen when performing activities that strain the abdominal muscles, such as prolonged standing, exercising, or sitting for extended periods.

Explore Hernia Risk Factors

Hernias develop as a result of constant pressure and muscle weakness in a specific region of the body. Depending on their underlying causes, they may manifest slowly or all of a sudden.

These are common causes of muscle weakness leading to hernia:

Chronic cough due to conditions like COPD

Prolonged constipation pressures the abdominal muscles

Congenital issues causing weakness from birth

Multiple pregnancies can weaken the abdominal wall

Heavy lifting, whether for sport or work

Surgical incisions weaken the abdomen

Dr Deepak’s Recommendations/Suggestions on Hernia Surgery

Dr. Deepak’s expertise is an eye opener for all aspiring to achieve good health. He states that hernia is a common ailment that occurs in men and women of all age groups. He restates that in men, hernia affects the groin and in women near the belly button or by any previous surgical scars. Here are a couple of expert advice by Dr. Deepak in diagnosing and treating hernia:

Usually, hernia, a condition where a tissue pushes out of its original cavity and bulges out of the wall, goes unnoticed. But it could lead to various health risks, even death, if not detected early.

Once you’re diagnosed with hernia, you will be recommended a surgery named Laparoscopic surgery.

The surgeon uses several cuts to operate upon. He/she then inserts a thin tube with a tiny camera to project the images of your insides on the screen. Then, he inserts surgical instruments into the incisions to repair the hernia.

Your recovery from the surgery depends on the type of hernia and surgery you underwent.

Very practical approach to my dad’s gallbladder stone problem. Surgery was explained well by diagrams and he performed the surgery by key holes which made it pain free for my dad. I had consulted many in the last 1 month including many big corporates but no one else gave us so much confidence.
