An inguinal hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes through the abdominal wall near the groin. It often creates a visible bulge and can cause discomfort or pain, especially when bending or lifting. Surgery may be needed to repair the hernia and prevent complications.
A visible bulge in the groin or scrotum.
Occasionally, swelling around the testicles.
A feeling of heaviness, weakness, or pressure in the groin.
Discomfort or pain in the groin.
A burning or aching sensation at the site of the bulge.
Here are the common factors that increase the risk of developing an inguinal hernia:
Persistent coughing, often due to smoking or respiratory conditions.
Frequent or improper lifting of heavy objects.
Increased pressure on the abdominal wall during pregnancy.
Straining during bowel movements.
An indirect inguinal hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine or fatty tissue protrudes through the inguinal canal, a passage in the lower abdomen. This type of hernia is often congenital, present from birth due to the inguinal canal not closing properly.
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.
