- Hernia Treatment in Dehradun β Expert Care by Dr. Abhinav Puri
Namaskar π,
I am Dr. Abhinav Puri, Consultant Laparoscopic Surgeon at New Life Health Clinic, Dehradun.
In this blog, Iβll explain one of the most common yet often ignored conditions β hernia. Knowing the causes, symptoms, and treatment options will help you take timely action and avoid serious complications.
A hernia occurs when there is a small hole or weakness in the abdominal wall (the wall of our stomach). Through this opening, internal contents such as fat or intestines push out, creating a swelling or bulge.
Imagine your abdominal wall as a strong shield. If it develops a tiny gap, the inner organs try to come out β that is a hernia.
β
Medical Term: Protrusion of abdominal contents through a weak spot.
β
Laymanβs Term: A bulge in the stomach or groin due to a small hole inside.
A hernia can happen to anyone β men, women, or even children. It is not restricted to age.
Risk factors for hernia include:
Heavy weight lifting without support
Chronic cough or sneezing
Obesity (overweight individuals are more prone)
Previous abdominal surgeries
Straining during constipation or urination
Some hernias are painless in the beginning, while others cause visible discomfort. Look out for:
A bulge/swelling in the abdomen or groin
Pain or discomfort while lifting, coughing, or bending
A heavy or dragging feeling in the stomach area
Swelling that becomes more visible when standing or straining
π If you notice any of these signs, consult a doctor immediately.
Many patients ignore hernias because the symptoms may look small initially. But a hernia never heals on its own. In fact, it worsens over time.
The biggest danger is strangulated hernia β when the intestine gets trapped in the hernia opening. This can cut off blood supply and become a life-threatening emergency.
π¨ Bottom Line: Early diagnosis and treatment are essential.
