A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue, often leading to pain, discomfort, and complications if left untreated. Hernias can develop in the abdomen, groin, or diaphragm and may worsen over time. At Anil Baghi Hospital, our expert surgeons specialize in advanced hernia repair, including laparoscopic (keyhole) and robotic-assisted techniques for faster recovery and minimal scarring.
Common Types of Hernias:
🔹 Inguinal Hernia – Occurs in the groin and is more common in men.
🔹 Umbilical Hernia – Develops near the belly button, often in infants or adults with weak abdominal muscles.
🔹 Hiatal Hernia – When the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest, causing acid reflux.
🔹 Incisional Hernia – Forms at the site of previous surgery due to weakened muscle tissue.
🔹 Femoral Hernia – Appears in the upper thigh area, more common in women.
Symptoms of a Hernia:
✔ Visible Bulge – Especially when standing, coughing, or straining.
✔ Pain or Discomfort – Worsens with movement or lifting objects.
✔ Heaviness or Pressure – In the affected area.
✔ Digestive Issues – Acid reflux, bloating, or difficulty swallowing (for hiatal hernias).
✔ Strangulation Risk – Severe pain, nausea, or vomiting if the hernia gets trapped, requiring emergency surgery.
