Best Doctors for Hernia Treatment in Khammam

When an organ of our body bulges out through a weakened muscle or opening it is called as hernia. The most common types of hernia include inguinal hernia, which grows in the groin, perineal hernia where the hernia grows in the pelvic floor, umbilical hernia which grows around the belly button and hiatal hernia, which grows in the diaphragm. Causes of hernias include heavy lifting, long-standing cough, obesity, pregnancy, and straining during the bowel movement. Symptoms include a visible bulge, pain or discomfort when coughing, bending, and especially when lifting, and nausea and vomiting. Chronic constipation, cough, connective tissue disorders are some of the risk factors for hernia. The type and severity of treatment will depend upon the type of hernia. Small, painless hernias may not require immediate treatment but should be monitored. Large or painful hernias are treated with a surgical intervention to repair the weakened region which serves as a way of preventing strangulation of the hernia, cutting off blood supply to the organ involved. Post-surgery involves rest and avoiding heavy activities.
