  2. A hernia is a common but frequently misunderstood condition. You may have a hernia if you have swelling and a bulge that is able to be “pushed back” into your abdomen. If it continues to grow, you will need to have hernia surgery in order to repair it.

  3. What Is a Hernia?

  4. Normally, your organs are held in place by your muscles. Sometimes however, these muscles break down or one of these organs protrudes through the wall of muscle. That’s called a hernia. While they can appear anywhere on your body, they are more common in the area between your chest and hips.

  5. When the organs protrude, they create a bulge or a lump. Sometimes, this lump can be pushed back into the abdomen. In other cases, it may disappear when you lie down. The lump can even reappear when you laugh, cough or participate in physical activities.

  6. What Are the Signs of a Hernia?

  7. The protruding bulge is the most common sign. It indicates that an organ or intestine is poking through the muscle wall. This swelling can be painful and grow. Some people may also experience a dull ache when lifting.

  8. When Do You Need Surgery for a Hernia?

  9. In some cases, if the hernia is small, doesn’t grow and doesn’t cause any pain or problems, then surgery may not be needed immediately. However, it’s important to realize that most of the time, hernias do get larger. While it may not be causing trouble now, it is very likely that it could lead to more serious complications later if it is not repaired.

  10. One of those complications is strangulation. This occurs when the bulging tissue is squeezed by the muscle wall. As a result, the blood supply is cut off and the tissue begins to die.

  11. Symptoms include: Nausea Vomiting Intensifying pain Fever A bulge that turns red or purple

  12. What Are the Different Types of Hernia?

  13. Aninguinalhernia In men, this is located in the groin area. In women, this is in the area affecting the ligament that supports the uterus. Men are more likely to have an inguinal hernia than women.

  14. Afemoralhernia Located in your inner thigh, this hernia is made of fatty tissue or part of the intestine. Umbilicalhernia In this case, the hernia protrudes from the belly button.

  15. Hiatalhernia In a hiatal hernia, the stomach pushes through the chest cavity. This means there is a hole or opening in the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the abdomen from your chest.
