Hernias - Types, Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment
A hernia is a condition that occurs when body or
fat tissue passes through a weak area or tear
around the surrounding muscle or tissue. This can
cause lumps or swelling that are often visible
and can cause discomfort or pain. May or may not
show symptoms such as pain or discomfort. Most
hernias eventually require surgical repair.
These symptoms may become more common with age
and the wear and tear of the muscles. It can
also be caused by surgery, trauma, or birth. You
can take advantage of this surgical treatment in
the best hospitals in Patna to determine how
severe and how fast the pain is. Laparoscopic
hernia surgery is recommended because it is a
minimally invasive procedure that allows the
laparoscopic surgeon to repair the damaged area
with a few small incisions (about half a
centimeter) surrounding weak areas with non-
absorbent mesh.

Description of hernia types, causes, diagnosis
and treatment
Hernia types Inguinal hernia It is the most
common type of hernia and is formed by the
compression of a part of the intestinal or
abdominal tissue along the jaw. . inguinal canal
area. It is seen in more men than women. Thigh
hernia Like inguinal hernia, femoral hernia is
seen in the inguinal region, but it is more
common in women. The stomach or intestines pass
through the femoral canal. Incisional hernia
This type of hernia occurs at the site of a
previous surgery. The stomach or abdomen
protrudes powerlessly through the scar. If you
have had surgery before and you have hernia
symptoms you should go to the best hospital in
Patna. Umbilical hernia An umbilical hernia
occurs in or around the neck or abdomen. It
occurs in infants, but can also occur in adults,
especially women with multiple pregnancies. Hiatal
hernia This type of hernia occurs when the
upper part of the stomach passes through the
diaphragm and into the chest cavity. Hiatal
hernias are associated with gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD).

The main causes of hernias are
Muscle weakness Hernias are usually seen in
areas where muscle weakness or the abdominal
wall is damaged. This weakness may be congenital
or may develop over time due to factors such as
aging or injury. If you are experiencing muscle
weakness, you can visit a laparoscopic surgeon
in Patna. Heavy lifting or effort Activities
that require heavy lifting or effort put pressure
on muscles and tissues by increasing
intra-abdominal pressure. At the same time, this
can cause a hernia, especially in people with a
weak stomach. Coughing or sneezing In conditions
such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) or asthma, severe coughing or sneezing
can aggravate the abdominal muscles and increase
the risk of hernia formation. Excess weight and
rapid weight gain Excess weight and rapid weight
gain can increase the size of the stomach and
lead to a hernia. Pregnancy and childbirth The
enlarged uterus during pregnancy can strain and
weaken the muscles, causing pregnant women to
develop a hernia. Also, childbirth can cause
muscle and tissue damage that can lead to
hernias.
