INFORMATION -WHAT IS A HERNIA

The term Hernia refers to a protrusion of an organ or tissue through an abnormal opening in the body. Most hernias are the result of part of the intestine slipping through a weakness in the abdominal wall.

Hernias develop most commonly around weak areas such as the navel or groin (Inguinal Hernias) or around previous incisions. Inguinal hernias are most common in men.

A hernia can be both seen and felt as a lump in the abdomen or groin. A reducible hernia usually disappears when you lie down and can be pushed back into the abdominal cavity. Discomfort is usually experienced especially when coughing, lifting heavy objects, or standing for a long time. A large increase in pain may indicate that the hernia is worsening and a physician should be consulted immediately.

Limiting activity, eliminating excess weight and wearing a hernia brief, belt or truss may provide temporary relief. However the only cure is surgery.
