A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak area in the abdominal wall, forming a visible bulge. It may cause pain, discomfort, or heaviness, especially while lifting, coughing, or standing for long periods. Surgery is the most effective treatment and involves repairing the weak area using stitches or a surgical mesh to strengthen the abdominal wall. The procedure can be performed using laparoscopic (minimally invasive) or open surgery, depending on the type and size of the hernia. It is done under anesthesia to ensure the patient remains comfortable. The hospital stay is usually 1–2 days, and patients are encouraged to start walking the same day or the next day after surgery. After the procedure, mild pain, swelling, or stiffness may occur, but these symptoms are manageable with medications. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for a few weeks to allow proper healing. Most individuals recover well and can return to their normal routine and work within a few weeks with proper care and follow-up.
