A hernia might start as a harmless bulge-but ignoring it could lead to serious complications. In North Bangalore, especially around New BEL Road, many patients delay hernia treatment until pain, swelling, or digestive problems become unbearable.
At Shirdi Sai Hospital, our experienced surgical team treats hernias using advanced laparoscopic and minimally invasive techniques, ensuring faster recovery, smaller scars, and lower recurrence rates. Knowing when to get hernia surgery can make all the difference between a simple fix and an emergency operation.
⚠️ Warning Symptoms That Indicate You Need Surgery
- Constant or increasing pain or pressure at the hernia site
- Swelling that becomes hard or doesn’t go back when pushed
- Recurrent redness, bleeding, or discharge from the bulge
- Feeling of nausea, vomiting, or abdominal discomfort
- Sudden pain after lifting heavy objects or coughing
- Fever or tenderness—possible signs of a strangulated hernia
Ignoring these symptoms can cause thrombosis (blood-clot formation) or strangulation, where the trapped intestine loses blood supply and requires emergency surgery.
🩺 Common Causes of Hernia Formation
- Chronic coughing or constipation (increases abdominal pressure)
- Obesity and lack of muscle strength
- Previous abdominal surgeries
- Heavy lifting without core support
- Family history of connective-tissue weakness
🩹 Treatments Available at Shirdi Sai Hospital
Every hernia case is unique—our surgeons evaluate size, location, and patient fitness before choosing the best option.
1️⃣ Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
Small incisions, quick healing, and minimal pain. Ideal for inguinal and umbilical hernias. Patients can usually go home within 24–48 hours.
2️⃣ Open Mesh Repair
Recommended for large or recurrent hernias. A synthetic mesh reinforces the weakened muscle wall to prevent relapse.
3️⃣ Emergency Hernia Surgery (Strangulated Cases)
When the hernia cuts off blood supply, emergency correction is performed immediately to save the trapped tissue.
4️⃣ Lifestyle & Rehabilitation Care
Physiotherapy, posture training, and nutritional counselling help prevent recurrence after surgery.
🧘♂️ Prevention & Lifestyle Tips
- Maintain a healthy weight through balanced diet & regular exercise
- Avoid chronic straining (treat constipation and cough early)
- Learn proper lifting techniques—bend knees, not the waist
- Strengthen abdominal muscles with guided physiotherapy
- Schedule routine health checks after 35 years of age
