Hernia (Inguinal, Umbilical, Incisional etc.)

What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding wall. It often appears as a visible bulge, commonly in the abdomen or groin, and may cause discomfort, especially when lifting, coughing, or straining.

At Jayaram Hospital, Karimnagar, we provide expert diagnosis and safe, ethical treatment for all types of hernias—including inguinal, umbilical, femoral, and incisional hernias.

Symptoms

• A visible bulge in the abdomen or groin

• Pain or pressure at the site, especially when bending or lifting

• A feeling of heaviness or discomfort

• Swelling that worsens during physical activity

• Nausea or vomiting (in severe cases)

Causes

• Weakness in the abdominal wall (congenital or age-related)

• Chronic coughing or constipation

• Heavy lifting without proper technique

• Obesity or sudden weight gain

• Previous surgical incisions (for incisional hernia)

When to See a Doctor?

If you notice a bulge that increases with activity, causes pain, or doesn’t go away when lying down—you should consult a surgeon. Hernias may worsen over time or lead to complications if left untreated.
