In some cases, hernias are not instantly life-threatening however they don’t go away on their own. Sometimes, they can require surgery to prevent possibly dangerous situations. Hernia treatment in India is available at very affordable rates.

A hernia in the abdomen or groin can produce a noticeable lump or bulge that can be pushed back in, or that can disappear when lying down. Laughing, crying, coughing, straining during a bowel movement or physical activity may make the lump reappear after it has been pushed in. Some of the common symptoms of a hernia include:
Inguinal hernia – In men, the inguinal canal is a passageway for the spermatic cord and blood vessels leading to the testicles. In women, the inguinal canal contains the round ligament that gives support for the womb. In an inguinal hernia, fatty tissue or a part of the intestine pokes into the groin through a weak spot at the top of the inner thigh. This is the most common type of hernia and affects men more often than women.
Femoral hernia: Fatty tissue or part of the intestine protrudes into the groin at the top of the inner thigh. Femoral hernias are much less common than inguinal hernias and mainly affect older women.
Hiatal hernia- It is most common in people having age more than 50 years. It occurs when a part of the stomach swells up through an opening in the diaphragm into the chest cavity.
Umbilical hernia- Fatty tissues or part of the intestines swell through their abdominal wall near their belly button (navel). This type of hernia is most common in children or babies under 6 months old. It goes away on its own as the muscles of the abdominal wall get stronger but if it doesn’t go on its own then surgery is required.
Incisional hernia- This type of surgery occurs when the patient has a history of abdominal surgery, the intestines protrude from the incision (cut) form the area of weakened tissue.
Laparoscopic surgery
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen that allow special surgical tools inserted the openings with the help of laparoscopy to repair the hernia. The weak spot is covered with mesh and fixed into the muscle tissue to strengthen the abdominal wall. This surgery is less painful and has faster recovery time due to the small incisions.
Open repair is the most commonly performed procedure for the treatment of hernias. This surgery is performed through one long incision over the location of the hernia. In some cases, a piece of mesh is placed over the muscles in order to reinforce the weakened tissues. This can be done in two ways.
