A hernia happens when part of your intestine or inner tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle wall of your abdomen. It usually appears as a soft lump or bulge that you can see or feel — often more obvious when you stand, cough, or lift something heavy, and softer or gone when you lie down.
A hernia will not heal on its own. Over time it tends to grow slowly and can become uncomfortable. The main concern is that a loop of intestine can get trapped in the weak opening, which is an emergency. This is why doctors recommend repairing a hernia at a planned, convenient time rather than waiting for it to become large or painful.
The right operation depends on where the hernia is and how large it is. Dr. Bhupendraa Prrasad treats all the common types:
A bulge in the groin or lower tummy, more common in men. Often repaired by keyhole surgery with a mesh, as a day-care or single-night stay.
कमर में उभार — पुरुषों में सबसे आम। अक्सर दूरबीन से जाली (मेश) लगाकर ठीक किया जाता है।A lump at or near the navel, common after pregnancy or in people carrying extra weight. Usually a quick, well-tolerated repair.
नाभि के पास गाँठ — गर्भावस्था के बाद या अधिक वज़न वालों में आम।A bulge that develops through the scar of a previous operation. These need careful planning and a good-quality mesh for a lasting repair.
पुराने ऑपरेशन के निशान से बनने वाला उभार — इसके लिए सोच-समझकर योजना बनाई जाती है।Even a big or old hernia can be repaired safely with the right technique. Because larger hernias carry a higher risk of getting trapped, they are best treated sooner rather than later.
बड़ा या पुराना हर्निया भी सही तकनीक से सुरक्षित रूप से ठीक हो सकता है — देर न करें।Surgery is the only permanent treatment for a hernia. The approach is chosen to suit your hernia and your daily life:
The hernia is fixed through 2–3 tiny cuts using a camera and a supporting mesh. Less pain, smaller scars, and most people go home within a day.
A standard, time-tested repair where the weak area is strengthened with a soft mesh. Often advised for larger or complex hernias.
Day-care procedures for hydrocele and related male-health problems, done with the same gentle, minimally invasive approach.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how smooth recovery is after keyhole hernia surgery. Here is a general guide — your own plan is tailored to your hernia and your work:
There is no single fixed price for hernia surgery, because the cost depends on several honest factors. During your consultation you are given a clear estimate before anything is decided.
