What Is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It most commonly appears as a visible bulge in the abdomen or groin area and may cause pain, discomfort, or a heavy dragging sensation  especially when coughing, bending, or lifting heavy objects.

Hernias do not heal on their own. Without timely treatment, they can grow larger, become more painful, and in serious cases, lead to life-threatening complications such as strangulation of the bowel.

Types of Hernia Treated at GEM Hospital

Our surgeons in Chennai are experienced in diagnosing and treating all major types of hernia:

Inguinal Hernia  the most common type, occurring in the groin area

Umbilical Hernia  near the belly button, common in infants and adults

Hiatal Hernia  part of the stomach pushes into the chest through the diaphragm

Incisional Hernia  occurs at the site of a previous abdominal surgery scar

Femoral Hernia  less common, appears as a bulge in the upper thigh or groin

Epigastric Hernia  between the belly button and chest
