usually begins with a small bulge that appears when coughing or lifting weights, and then develops into a constant feeling of heaviness and discomfort. Some people are forced to stop exercising, others find it difficult to perform their work, or even to sleep normally. With recurring symptoms, the fear of complications such as bowel obstruction or strangulation increases. At Elite Care Clinics, we take this suffering into account and provide comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each case. Through traditional surgery, laparoscopic techniques, or robotic surgery, inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias can be repaired with minimal intervention and faster recovery. The patient does not only receive treatment but also continuous follow-up that ensures a return to normal life free of pain and anxiety. Read on for more details.
Hernia and its types in men and women
A hernia is a health condition that affects both men and women. It occurs due to a weakness or opening in the abdominal wall, allowing part of the intestines or tissues to protrude. The most common types are:
Inguinal hernia: The most widespread type, especially among men, occurring when a part of the intestine pushes through the inguinal canal in the lower abdomen.
Umbilical hernia: Appears near the navel when part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall. It may be present from birth, or develop later in life, or after pregnancy.
Incisional (surgical) hernia: Occurs at the site of a previous surgery due to weakened abdominal tissue around the incision.
These three types are the most common and often require medical intervention to prevent complications such as bowel obstruction or tissue strangulation.
Hernia treatment for men and women at Elite Care Clinics
A hernia may start small but tends to worsen over time. At Elite Care Clinics, we focus on accurate diagnosis and proper treatment, whether it is inguinal, umbilical, or incisional hernia, using modern techniques that shorten recovery time and provide more comfort. Here are the treatment options:
Watchful waiting: In some mild or small cases, the doctor may monitor the condition without immediate surgery, especially if the hernia appears occasionally and causes no severe symptoms.
Surgical repair: Most hernia cases require surgery to strengthen the abdominal wall and prevent progression. The options include:
Laparoscopic surgery: One of the most common approaches. A tiny camera and surgical tools are inserted through small incisions in the abdomen to push tissues back into place and reinforce the wall with sutures or a surgical mesh. This technique reduces post-surgery pain and speeds recovery.
Robotic surgery: Similar to laparoscopy but performed with robotic assistance, giving the surgeon greater precision, especially in complex cases.
Open surgery: Used when there are complications or scar tissue from previous operations. The surgeon makes a larger incision to directly access and repair the hernia.
Umbilical hernia in children: In some cases, it may close naturally as the child grows. If it persists, surgical repair is necessary.
Early management of hernias protects you from more severe complications. At Elite Care Clinics, you will find specialized care and treatment options tailored to your condition, giving you comfort and reassurance.
