What is Hernia ?
A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place, often causing pain and discomfort. Lux specializes in hernia treatments by offering advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques tailored to each patient, ensuring faster recovery and reduced risk of recurrence.
Types of Hernia
Hernias can occur in different parts of the body, and each type has specific characteristics and symptoms. Here are the main types:
- Inguinal: This is the most common type of hernia, particularly among men. It occurs when the intestines push through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall, often in the inguinal canal.
- Hiatal: This type occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, often causing hiatal hernia symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux.
- Mesh Repair: Implantation of a synthetic mesh to reinforce the hernia repair site, significantly reducing the risk of recurrence.
- Individualized Treatment Plans: Every patient is evaluated thoroughly to design a treatment plan that suits their specific condition, ensuring the best possible results.
Causes of hernia
Hernias occur when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. Various factors can contribute to the development of hernias, including:
- Physical Strain: Heavy lifting, straining during bowel movements, or persistent coughing can increase abdominal pressure and lead to hernias.
- Age: Muscles weaken as we age, making older adults more susceptible to hernias.
- Congenital Conditions: Some people are born with weaker abdominal muscles, predisposing them to hernias.
- Pregnancy: The increased pressure on the abdomen during pregnancy can cause hernias.
- Obesity: Excessive body weight increases the strain on abdominal muscles.
- Previous Surgery: Incisions from abdominal surgeries may weaken the abdominal wall, creating potential hernia sites.
- Smoking: It can lead to weakening of the connective tissue, increasing the risk of hernias.
