Hernia Treatment in Noida

Hernias happen when a section of your intestine or other tissue mostly fat pushes through the weakened area of muscle in the abdomen. They can also occur in the belly button, thighs and in groin areas. The common cause of hernia is muscle weakness and straining that occurs during pregnancy due to increased pressure in the abdomen, being constipated which causes strain during the bowel movement, lifting heavy weights, gaining weight, chronic coughing and due to some surgical reasons. The most common symptom is the appearance of bulge or lump in the affected area. There will be a pain, discomfort in the affected area, weakness, feeling of heaviness in the abdomen, burning and aching sensation in the bulge. Here we provide the best hernia treatment in Noida that focuses not only on reducing the symptoms but also repairs the weakened region.

We decide your treatment method depending on the size of your hernia and severity of symptoms. The treatment options for a hernia include lifestyle changes and surgery. Surgery remains the only permanent curative option for the same.

Lifestyle changes:

Maintaining a healthy diet can reduce the symptoms of hernia but won’t make it go away. Avoiding large and heavy meals, not to lie down or bend down after meals and maintaining your body weight in a healthy range. Certain exercises can strengthen the muscles in the region of lump, however, doing heavy exercises can again put more pressure in the abdominal area that causes it to bulge more. If these changes are not providing relief to your discomforts, then surgery is the only option.

Surgery:

The hernia does not get better on their own and surgery is the only option to repair them. We decide to go for surgery if your hernia keeps growing or causes too much pain. We perform either Laparoscopic or open surgery to repair the hernia. We even operate on the newer technique which is robotic surgery.

Open hernia repair:  We make an incision in the hernia area and locate the sac region that contains bulging intestine. It is then pushed back into the abdomen and the abdominal wall is strengthened with stitches and synthetic meshes.

Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) hernia repair: With state of art developments of keyhole surgery and techniques, this remains the mainstay for the management. We make small cuts in the lower abdomen where a laparoscope is inserted. The laparoscope consists of a thin tube with the camera attached that sends images of the inside of the body to television screens in the operating room. Your abdomen is then inflated with a harmless gas (carbon dioxide), to view the inside of the body. The inner lining of the abdomen is cut to visualize the weakness in the abdominal wall. Mesh is then placed on the inside to cover the defects in the abdominal wall and strengthen the tissue.

The incisions are then closed using stitches or surgical tapes.

Robotic surgery: This is an innovative method to operate hernias. We are seated at a console in the operating room and handles the surgical instruments from the console. While robotic surgery can be used for some smaller hernias, it can also be used to rebuild your abdominal wall.

Usually, the patient is discharged next day after doing laparoscopic or robotic hernia repair and can resume his office from 3rd to 4th day We deeply understand your sufferings and discomforts you go through when you encounter any illness or disease. The hernia is one such condition that might put you extremely in a state of distress.

Can a Hernia heal on its own?

Hernias are common and usually do not cause any problem and also they do not get better on its own. In rare circumstances, they can lead to life-threatening complications. It is recommended to have surgery for a hernia which is becoming bigger and causing pain.

If the hernia is not causing any discomfort and pain, you can follow wait and see approach or can follow your doctor’s recommendation. Wait and see approach is recommended for the parents of infants and children who have an inguinal hernia. If children or infants have hernia it is advised to have the surgery as soon as possible because a delay in surgery can lead to an increased risk of incarceration and strangulation.

The thing which you need to know is that hernia does not heal on its own, only surgery can repair a hernia. You can delay the surgery for months or even for years if it is not causing any discomfort or pain. In some cases when a hernia is very small, not growing in size, and not causing any discomfort a surgery is never required.

In most cases, surgery is recommended as over the time the bulges gets bigger because the muscles become weaker with age. Surgery prevents a rare but serious problem, strangulation. When a loop of intestine or a piece of fatty tissues trapped inside the hernia it causes strangulation. In this condition, the portion does not receive blood supply. Before making any decision, talk to your doctor and discuss in detail.
