Summary
A hernia occurs when an organ or a body part is pushed through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. The most common types of hernia are inguinal hernias involving inner groin (which can be direct or indirect) incisional or ventral (resulting from an incision or scar in the abdomen after surgery), femoral (upper thigh/outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach/diaphragm). The symptoms include a bulge in the area involved, swelling, or pain. In some people, there are no symptoms. The treatment for hernias is surgery. Surgery helps in restoring the affected the tissues to their normal location and in closing the opening. Complications include swelling, pain, and discharge from the area where surgery has been performed. The results are good after surgery, non-recurrent in most cases, and seldom leads to death if untreated at an early age.
