UNDERSTANDING HERNIAS
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common types of hernias include:
Inguinal Hernias: Occur in the groin area and are the most common type.
Umbilical Hernias: Develop near the belly button.
Hiatal Hernias: Involve part of the stomach pushing through the diaphragm.
Incisional Hernias: Result from a weakness in the abdominal wall following surgery.
Femoral Hernias: Found in the upper thigh or groin area, more common in women.
Without treatment, hernias can grow larger and may lead to complications like pain, obstruction, or strangulation.
