Health concerns if left untreated. At our specialized clinic, we offer expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of hernias. Our team of experienced surgeons and healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your specific needs. Here’s a closer look at the different types of hernias we treat:

​

1. Inguinal Hernia: The most common type, occurring when a portion of the intestine or fat pushes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall, often in the inguinal canal. It’s more prevalent in men and can cause pain, especially when coughing, bending over, or lifting heavy objects.

2. Umbilical Hernia: Common in newborns and infants, this type occurs near the belly button (umbilicus) when part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall. While often harmless, it may require surgical intervention if it doesn’t close on its own or causes discomfort.

3. Hiatal Hernia: Occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This type is often associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and can lead to heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and chest pain.

4. Femoral Hernia: More common in women, especially during pregnancy or after childbirth, this hernia occurs when a portion of tissue bulges into the upper thigh near the groin. Femoral hernias are less common but can be more prone to complications, requiring prompt medical attention.

5. Incisional Hernia: Develops at the site of a previous surgical incision, where the abdominal wall may be weakened. This type of hernia can occur months or even years after surgery and is more likely if the area was not fully healed or if there was an infection.

6. Ventral Hernia: Refers to any hernia that occurs along the midline of the abdomen, excluding the groin area. It includes incisional hernias and can vary in size. Symptoms may include a noticeable bulge, discomfort, or pain, particularly when straining or lifting.

7. Epigastric Hernia: Occurs between the navel and the lower part of the rib cage, where fatty tissue pushes through a weakened area of the abdominal muscles. This type is usually small but can cause discomfort and requires surgical repair if symptomatic.
