Hernias are painful. They are conditions where an organ or part of the organ pushes through and/or protrudes from an opening in a muscle or tissue that surrounds and holds it. There are many different types of hernias:
- Inguinal hernia: It is a condition where the intestine or bladder pushes through the wall of the abdomen or into the inguinal canal in the groin region and is common in men due to already present weakness in the area.
- Incisional hernia: It is a condition when the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall where a previous abdominal surgery had taken place. May take place in elder or overweight people who remain inactive after abdominal surgery.
- Femoral hernia: It is a condition when the intestine enters the femoral-artery-carrying canal and into the upper thigh region. It is common in women especially if pregnant and/or overweight.
- Umbilical hernia: It is a condition when a portion of the small intestine passes through the abdominal wall near the navel region. It is often common in newborn babies.Â
- Hiatal hernia: It is a condition in which the upper portion of the stomach squeezes through the hiatus (an opening in the diaphragm where the esophagus passes through).Â
