Specialist in Hernia Treatment

Hernias usually occur in the groin, stomach, or belly button. While some people are born with a hernia, others develop them over a period of time.

Hernias are caused by a combination of pressure and an opening or weakness of muscle or connective tissue. Hernia can be caused by an increase in abdominal pressure, due to persistent coughing or sneezing, diarrhoea, obesity, constipation, or lifting heavy objects.

Various types of hernias can appear in different parts of your body
• Femoral: occurs in the upper thigh or outer groin region.
• Hiatal: occurs inside the abdomen, along the upper stomach or diaphragm.
• Incisional: occurs through an incision or due to a scar in the abdomen.
• Inguinal: occurs in the inner groin region.
• Umbilical: occurs at the belly button area.
• Ventral: occurs in the general abdominal or ventral wall region.

Symptoms of a hernia include swelling in the groin or scrotum and causes pain. The common pain areas are the abdomen, pelvis and testicles. If neglected, a hernia can grow large and be more painful. This may lead to more complications and an emergency surgery.
