What is hernia? Explained by Dr. B. Ramana (Hindi)

What is a hernia? A hernia is a gap in the muscles and fascia of the abdominal wall through which the inner contents, small and/or large intestine, stomach, bladder, etc, may protrude out into the skin. What are the types of hernia? There are several types of hernias know in humans. They are broadly divided into internal and external hernias. Internal hernias are not apparent on the outside and can be dangerous. Incisional Hernia- A hernia that appears post abdominal surgery is known as an Incisional hernia. The location depends upon the type of incision chosen for primary surgery. Post-C-section hernias are not uncommon. Umbilical Hernia- This is a hernia of the navel. Quite commonly seen in females, especially post-pregnancy. An umbilical hernia is the most common cause of disfigurement of the navel region. Epigastric Hernia This type of hernia is seen in the mid-upper portion of the abdomen. Although small they may be very painful in a few individuals. Lumbar Hernia- These are the type of hernias seen on the outer side of the abdomen, especially after open kidney surgeries. Spigelian Hernia- These are hernias through a potential weak site in the abdominal cavity. Seen in the outer part, these are not very common ones. Paraesophageal and Diaphragmatic hernia- When the stomach migrates to the chest cavity through the diaphragm, it results in the diaphragmatic hernia. Reflux and heartburn are the most common symptoms associated with it. Parastomal hernias- When the abdominal contents, mainly stomach, migrates to the chest cavity through diaphragm results in a diaphragmatic hernia. Reflux and heartburn are the most common symptoms associated with it. Diastasis of recti- The pendulous and flabby abdomen is common for females after delivery mainly occurs because the muscles are separated in the midline.
