A hernia occurs when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue, most commonly seen in the abdomen or groin region. If left untreated, a hernia can become painful and may lead to complications. At Karthyayani Hospital, Thrissur, our surgical team provides advanced, minimally invasive solutions to ensure fast recovery, minimal discomfort, and long-term relief.

What Is a Hernia?

A hernia typically presents as a bulge, discomfort, or heaviness in the affected area. It may worsen during coughing, lifting, or straining. Common types include:

• Inguinal hernia

• Umbilical hernia

• Incisional hernia

• Femoral hernia

• Hiatal hernia

Early diagnosis and proper evaluation are crucial for deciding the ideal treatment approach.

When Should You Consider Hernia Surgery?

Surgery is recommended when:

• The hernia causes pain or discomfort

• The bulge increases in size

• There is risk of strangulation

• Daily activities are affected

Delaying surgery may increase complications, so timely intervention is essential.
