Our experienced general surgeons specialize in modern surgical techniques that help patients recover faster with minimal pain and reduced complications.

A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak area in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Although hernias commonly develop in the abdomen or groin region, they can also occur near the belly button, upper thigh, or previous surgical incision sites. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely treatment are important to prevent complications.

Types of Hernias

Our specialists diagnose and treat different types of hernias using advanced imaging and surgical procedures. In addition, treatment plans are customized according to the patient’s condition and overall health.

1. Inguinal Hernia: The most common type, usually affecting the groin area.
2. Femoral Hernia: More common in women and appears in the upper thigh or groin.
3. Umbilical Hernia: Develops near the belly button in children or adults.
4. Hiatal Hernia: Occurs when part of the stomach pushes into the chest cavity.
5. Incisional Hernia: Develops near previous abdominal surgery scars.
6. Epigastric Hernia: Appears between the chest and belly button area.
7. Spigelian Hernia: A rare abdominal wall hernia.

Common Causes of Hernias

Hernias usually develop due to muscle weakness combined with increased pressure inside the abdomen. Furthermore, lifestyle habits and certain medical conditions may increase the risk of hernia formation.

• Heavy weight lifting
• Chronic coughing or smoking
• Obesity and excess abdominal pressure
• Pregnancy-related strain
• Constipation and straining during bowel movements
• Weak abdominal muscles
• Previous abdominal surgeries

Symptoms of Hernia

Hernia symptoms can vary depending on the type and severity of the condition. However, some common warning signs should not be ignored.

• Visible swelling or bulge in the abdomen or groin
• Pain while lifting heavy objects
• Burning or aching sensation
• Feeling of heaviness in the abdomen
• Discomfort while coughing or bending
• Acid reflux and swallowing difficulty in hiatal hernia
• Nausea, vomiting, or severe pain in emergency cases

If a hernia becomes strangulated and cuts off blood supply to the tissue, it may become a medical emergency. Therefore, immediate medical attention is required if severe pain, redness, fever, or vomiting develops.
