Hernias are a very common condition that occur when there is a weakness in the muscle layer of the abdominal (tummy) wall. This weakness allows internal tissue or organs to push through, creating a bulge. Many people first notice a small lump or discomfort, and some recall a sudden sensation of something “giving way” — often after coughing, lifting something heavy, or straining.
Hernias can develop in different parts of the body. Common sites include:
Hernias do not heal on their own and may gradually increase in size over time. A potential risk is strangulation, when the hernia becomes trapped and loses its blood supply. This is a serious complication that usually requires emergency surgery.
To help confirm the diagnosis and assess the hernia more accurately, ultrasound or CT scans may sometimes be arranged. During your clinic visit, Dr Lalit Kumar will advise if any imaging is needed.
