Hernia
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak area in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It commonly develops in the abdomen or groin and may cause pain, swelling, or a visible bulge. If left untreated, a hernia can enlarge over time and may lead to serious complications.
Symptoms
- Visible bulge or swelling in the abdomen or groin
- Pain or discomfort while lifting, coughing, or bending
- Feeling of heaviness or pressure in the affected area
- Burning or aching sensation at the site of the hernia
- Weakness in the abdominal wall
- Swelling that becomes more noticeable while standing
- Nausea and severe pain in complicated cases
Causes
- Weakness of the abdominal muscles
- Heavy lifting and physical strain
- Chronic cough
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Previous abdominal surgery
- Chronic constipation and straining
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is usually made through a detailed medical history and physical examination. Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis, determine the type of hernia, and plan the most appropriate treatment.
