After hernia treatment, you will feel a big sense of relief as pain and discomfort go away, making it easier for you to move around and go on with your daily activities without worry.
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding tissue, creating a noticeable bulge and causing discomfort or pain. Hernias can develop in various parts of the body, but the most common areas affected are the abdomen and groin.
Hernias are a common health issue in India, especially among individuals who perform heavy physical labour or those with certain health conditions that weaken the abdominal muscles.
This occurs in the groin area when a part of the intestine pushes through the lower abdominal wall. It affects more men than women, often due to natural weaknesses in the lower abdominal muscles.
This type occurs near the belly button (umbilicus) when part of the intestine pushes through the abdominal wall. It is commonly seen in infants but can also affect adults, particularly women after pregnancy.
Occurs when the upper part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This type of hernia is often associated with symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux.
This develops at the site of a previous surgery where the muscle hasn’t healed properly, leading to weakness in the abdominal wall. It is common after abdominal surgeries.
Activities that involve heavy lifting can put extra strain on the abdominal muscles, increasing the risk of hernia. This is particularly common among individuals who work in manual labour jobs.
As we age, the muscles naturally weaken, making older adults more susceptible to developing hernias. This is especially true for inguinal hernias.
Conditions such as obesity, chronic cough, or fluid buildup in the abdomen (ascites) can increase pressure inside the abdominal cavity, raising the risk of hernia formation.
The added weight and pressure on the abdomen during pregnancy can cause a hernia, particularly umbilical hernias in women.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
A non-invasive imaging technique used to visualise the soft tissues and organs inside the abdomen.
A more detailed imaging test that helps the doctor see the size and location of the hernia more clearly.
In some cases, an MRI may be used to get a clearer picture of the hernia, especially if it's difficult to detect using other methods.
In this traditional procedure, the surgeon makes an incision near the hernia, pushes the protruding tissue back into place, and strengthens the muscle wall using stitches or a mesh. This method is often used for larger or more complex hernias, and recovery may take a few weeks.
This is a minimally invasive procedure that involves making small incisions and using a camera (laparoscope) to guide the surgeon in repairing the hernia. A mesh is typically used to reinforce the muscle wall. Laparoscopic surgery is associated with less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars compared to open surgery.
Laparoscopic repair is particularly effective for inguinal hernias and hiatal hernias, offering quicker recovery times and minimal scarring.
After hernia surgery, most patients can return home the same day or the day after. The recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed and the size of the hernia. For open surgery, recovery may take several weeks, while laparoscopic surgery generally allows for a quicker recovery, usually within 1 to 2 weeks.
During recovery, patients are encouraged to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for a few weeks and follow the post-surgery care plan provided by their doctor. At TAH Global Healthcare, we offer personalised care plans, including follow-up consultations, dietary advice, and physiotherapy, to ensure a smooth recovery and minimise the risk of recurrence.
