Hernia Surgery
After hernia treatment, patients experience significant relief as pain and discomfort subside, allowing them to move freely and resume daily activities with confidence and ease.
What is a Hernia?
A hernia happens when an internal organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding tissue, forming a visible bulge and often causing pain or discomfort. Hernias can occur in different areas of the body, with the abdomen and groin being the most common sites.
In India, hernias are a widespread health concern, particularly among individuals engaged in heavy physical labor or those with medical conditions that weaken the abdominal wall.

Types of Hernia
Symptoms of a Hernia
1. Visible Bulge
The most obvious symptom is a noticeable lump or bulge in the affected area.
2. Pain or Discomfort
You may experience pain or discomfort in the area, especially when lifting heavy objects, coughing, or bending over.
3. Weakness or Pressure
A feeling of weakness, heaviness, or pressure in the abdomen or groin is common with hernias.
4. Heartburn or Acid Reflux
In cases of hiatal hernia, symptoms may include heartburn, difficulty swallowing, or acid reflux, as part of the stomach moves into the chest cavity.
Diagnosis of Hernia
Ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI are key diagnostic imaging tools used to evaluate hernias and other abdominal conditions. Ultrasound, a non-invasive method, provides real-time images of soft tissues and organs, helping detect hernias and assess their severity. CT scans deliver detailed cross-sectional views, enabling doctors to accurately determine the hernia’s size, location, and extent. In complex or deep cases where other imaging may be insufficient, MRI offers precise visualization for hidden hernias. These imaging techniques are vital for an accurate diagnosis and for planning the most effective treatment strategy.
Treatment Options for Hernia
Recovery and Aftercare
After hernia surgery, most patients can go home the same day or the next. Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and hernia size. Open surgery may require several weeks to recover, whereas laparoscopic surgery usually allows a faster recovery, often within 1–2 weeks.
During recovery, patients should avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity and strictly follow their doctor’s post-operative care instructions. At TAH Global Healthcare, we provide personalised care plans, including follow-up visits, dietary guidance, and physiotherapy, ensuring a smooth recovery and reducing the risk of hernia recurrence.
