Do You Have Hernia???

Hernia is a condition which causes the protrusion of a piece of tissue or an organ from its normal space. Usually, hernia squeezes through a weak point in a surrounding tissue called fascia. 

The following are the most common types of hernia found

Inguinal Hernia: An inguinal hernia is found in the inner groin, in this condition the bladder or the intestine bulges through the inguinal canal in the groin or the abdominal wall

Incisional Hernia: In this condition which is a result of an incision, the intestine protrudes through the site of the previous abdominal surgery of the abdominal wall.

Femoral Hernia: This type of hernia which is found in the outer groin occurs when the intestine enters the canal carrying femoral artery. This is more commonly found in females.

Umbilical Hernia: An Umbilical hernia which is found in the belly button is commonly found in newborns. This occurs when a part of the small intestine bulges through the abdominal wall near the navel.

Hiatal Hernia: A hiatal hernia found in the upper stomach happens when the upper stomach bulges out through the hiatus (opening in the diaphragm through which the esophagus passes).
