What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue wall — most commonly in the abdomen or groin. While some hernias may be painless at first, they can grow larger and lead to serious complications if left untreated.

Common Types of Hernias Treated

Endoscopy
  • Inguinal Hernia – Groin area, more common in men
  • Umbilical Hernia – Around the belly button
  • Incisional Hernia – At the site of a previous surgery
  • Hiatal Hernia – Where the stomach pushes into the chest through the diaphragm
  • Femoral Hernia – Less common, but seen in women near the upper thigh
  • Epigastric Hernia – In the upper abdomen between the chest and navel

Why Surgery is Important

Leaving a hernia untreated may lead to:

  • Increasing pain
  • Bowel obstruction
  • Strangulation (emergency)

Symptoms of a Hernia

  • A visible bulge under the skin
  • Discomfort or pain, especially while lifting or bending
  • Heaviness or dragging sensation in the abdomen
  • Acid reflux or chest discomfort (in case of hiatal hernia)
