Expert Hernia Treatment for Faster Recovery
A hernia occurs due to a weakness in the abdominal wall, either from fetal development or previous injury. Risk factors include aging, pregnancy, obesity, and chronic straining. It is often triggered by activities like heavy lifting, coughing, sneezing, constipation, or difficult urination.
A hernia usually appears as a bulge in the abdominal wall, often accompanied by a dull ache. It may be reducible, meaning the bulge can be pushed back in. In some cases, the hernia can become incarcerated, causing moderate to severe pain. If the intestine is trapped, it may lead to a bowel obstruction with nausea and vomiting. If blood flow is cut off, a strangulated hernia can develop, causing severe pain and tissue death, which requires immediate medical attention.
The most common sign of hernia is a bulge or a swelling in the abdominal wall or umbilical region(naval area) or the inguinal region(groin). Along with the bulge there could also be pain, discomfort, soreness which increases on coughing, straining or strenuous activity like weight lifting.Any abdominal symptoms like constipation, bloating may be related to the symptoms of hernia
Hernia surgeries with the advancement in technology and science can be done almost like day-care procedures. The patient can get admitted on the day of surgery and can go back home almost the same day. Recovery from the wound healing may take up to 7-10 days. A person walks to the operation theatre and walks back from the theatre and is active and moving about post surgery
Since there is minimal pain after the surgery, if a patient's job doesn't require physical exertion or straining of the muscles and more of a sedentary work life, such patients can get back to work in about a day or two after surgery. If the patient's job requires a lot of physical exertion, moderate activities can be resumed after a week and complete exertion is advised after about 3-4 weeks.
“ My father was diagnosed with Hernia. Dr. Shashank Shah was recommended by our family physician for hernia laparoscopic surgery. Right from speaking personally on call with Dr. Shah, to consultation and the surgery, the process was smooth and professional and the staff and nurses were helpful. There can be improvement in terms of maintaining silence and ensuring patients are not disturbed much during night (Nurses were coming to check the iv fluid after every 20 minutes). Dr. Shashank Shah himself is very polite and soft spoken and ensured my father did not have any doubts, fears or complications throughout the process. Post surgery, my father recovered very well and quick without any complaints of dizziness or nausea. Overall it was a good experience. Would definitely recommend Dr. Shah and LOC Healthcare. “
“ Sharing the experience we had with Dr. Shashank Shah & his team recently. I underwent 2 major surgeries in a span of 1 month with Dr.Shah, first one for the removal of three large parotid gland tumours & the second one for umbilical hernia plus divarication. I cannot stop myself from saying that Dr.Shashank Shah has been blessed with a pair of magical hands by the almighty. Such was the precision of the surgery that not only was I walking around within 2 hours of the surgery but I could even go back home on the same day. I have never heard of anyone having such a super speedy recovery. Dr.Shahs entire team at LOC is the best medical team I have come across so far. They are warm, friendly, prompt & they make sure that the patient is at ease. I would like to extend by heartfelt thanks to Dr.Shah & his entire team for an amazing experience & would without a second though recommend LOC to anyone wanting to undergo surgeries. “
