Abdominal Hernia 5-Complications

1. Abdominal hernias occur when tissue from inside the abdomen bulges through a weakened area of the abdominal muscle. Reducible hernias can be pushed back in place. Non-reducible, or incarcerated, hernias need to be repaired surgically. 2. When hernias become strangulated, blood supply is cut off to the herniated tissue. Immediate treatment is required to avoid serious complications. 3. Common symptoms of hernia include pain upon straining, or when standing, sitting, or lying in certain positions. Hernias close to the stomach’s surface may produce a noticeable bulge in the affected area. Additional symptoms of nausea, vomiting, bloating, fever, chills, or rapid heartbeat point to a serious problem, such as strangulated hernia. If you experience these symptoms along with abdominal pain, it is important to seek medical treatment right away. 4. There are many types of abdominal hernias, depending on the location; the most common types are inguinal (groin), umbilical (belly button), ventral (in the center of the abdomen), and incisional (at the site of a previous incision). Other less common types can be more difficult to diagnose, but can be serious if untreated. For that reason, any unexplained abdominal pain warrants an examination by a doctor or other qualified healthcare provider. 5. Abdominal hernias are diagnosed through physical examination, ultrasound tests, or CT scans. 6. Most symptomatic abdominal hernias require surgery. Surgical repair can be done either through an open operation or by laparoscopy. Qualified surgeons can help you decide which option is best for you.
