Disease Description
A Hernia is the protrusion of an organ or the fascia of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. There are different kinds of hernia, each requiring a specific management or treatment. By far the most common hernias develop in the abdomen, when a weakness in the abdominal wall evolves into a localized hole, or "defect", through which adipose tissue, or abdominal organs covered with peritoneum, may protrude.
Symptoms and signs vary depending on the type of hernia. In the case of reducible hernias, a bulge in the groin or in another abdominal area can often be seen and felt. Other symptoms include pain in the groin that may also include a heavy or dragging sensation, and in men, there is sometimes pain and swelling in the scrotum around the testicular area. Irreducible abdominal hernias or incarcerated hernias may be painful, but their most relevant symptom is that they cannot return to the abdominal cavity when pushed in. They may be chronic, although painless, and can lead to strangulation.
Most of the time, hernias develop when pressure in the compartment of the residing organ is increased, and the boundary is weak or weakened. Weakening of containing membranes or muscles is usually congenital, and increases with age, but it may be on the basis of other illnesses, stretching of muscles during pregnancy, losing weight in obese people, etc., or because of scars from previous surgery.
Increased pressure on the intervertebral discs, as produced by heavy lifting or lifting with improper technique increases the risk of herniation.
Furthermore, conditions that increase the pressure of the abdominal cavity, such as obesity, straining during a bowel movement or urination, chronic lung disease, etc. may also cause hernias or worsen the existing ones. Also, if muscles are weakened due to poor nutrition, smoking, and overexertion, hernias are more likely to occur.
