Hernia Repair Surgery at Premier Surgery Center
If you are feeling an aching pain in your belly or groin, you could have a hernia. A hernia occurs when an internal organ or body part protrudes through a muscle wall or tissue that normally contains it. It can happen as a result of a weakened muscle, aging, excessive and repeated straining, or being overweight.
Hernias are common in men and women, but symptoms vary. Hernias cause discomfort and pain. Surgery is often recommended to repair a hernia.
How do you know you have a hernia?
Hernias symptoms can vary. But, the most common symptoms include:
- a noticeable lump or bulge
- pain at the site of the bulge
- increase in the size of bulge over time
- a sense of feeling full or signs of bowel obstruction
How do you treat hernias?
Hernias do not get better on their own. In most cases, surgery is necessary to repair them. Whether or not surgery is needed depends on the size of your hernia and the severity of your symptoms.
If you notice your hernia is growing larger or continuing to cause pain, your surgeon may decide it’s time to operate.
