Hernia (hernia);  It is formed by the penetration of internal organs into the spaces existing in the muscles and tissues.  Hernias with potential dangers show different symptoms depending on the place of formation, reducing the quality of life of the person.

Why Does Hernia Occur?

Hernia usually occurs due to reasons such as lifting heavy loads, working in occupational groups that require the use of force, standing for a long time, constipation, chronic cough, straining and pregnancy.

To prevent hernia;  Simple measures such as an active lifestyle, regular exercise, avoiding excessive straining, moving with the correct posture, quitting smoking, and treating diseases such as coughing before they become chronic can reduce the risk of hernia formation.  Although hernia is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to hernia, there are many different types of hernia according to the place of formation.

What are the types of hernia?

  • Inguinal hernia,
  • Umbilical (umbilical) hernia,
  • Incision site (incisional) hernia,
  • Epigastric hernia,

What is an Inguinal Hernia?

Inguinal hernia, which constitutes 75% of all hernia types, is caused by the penetration of intra-abdominal tissues into the tear or defect in the abdominal wall.  This type of hernia, which manifests itself with swelling in the groin area, becomes evident when the person stands up or coughs, and disappears when the person is pushed inwards by hand or when the person lies down.

What is an Umbilical Hernia?

Umbilical hernia, which is seen in the case of weak muscles in the area of ​​​​the navel, can occur at almost any age.

Umbilical hernia is seen in people who are overweight, pregnant, lose weight quickly, do heavy sports, and work by carrying heavy loads.  The only way to treat umbilical hernia is surgical intervention.  It is much easier to treat an umbilical hernia, which cannot be healed by itself, in the early period.

How Is Hernia Diagnosed?

Hernias in the abdomen and inguinal region give symptoms as painful or painless swellings.  In painful hernias, a part of the internal organs, mostly the small intestine, has entered the hernia area.  In some patients, the small intestine can be pushed in and out of the hernia area or manually pushed into the abdomen.

How to Treat Hernia?

Surgery is often the only treatment method for hernias.

Repair is done with open and closed (laparoscopic) hernia surgery.  In large hernias, if the patient's tissue is not sufficient to close the hernia area, a mesh can be placed.  After laparoscopic hernia repair, the patient is discharged the next day.
