Hernia is a serious medical condition, and it should always be examined as quickly as possible, given that even if it is not painful it may become suddenly dangerous.
The “Abonet D” website explained that the hernia is a gap in the abdominal wall through which the intestine or peritoneum is highlighted, and it occurs when pressure increases in the abdominal cavity, as is the case during the practice of hard -to -act, defecation, cough, sneezing, laughter or bending.
And when the pressure decreases, the hernia can return to normal. However, the hidden hernia must be taken seriously like that, as is the visual hernia, every hernia may be dangerous, even if it does not cause pain.
Types of hernia
The site, which is the official portal of German pharmacists, added that there are many different types of hernia, as some people are born with it, while others are affected by the passage of time.
The umbilical hernia is the most common type, and many are born with this hernia, but it is not genetically. Most cases of congenital umbilical hernia are used to automatically at the age of four or five. And if the hernia continues, it is often not observed until after that, when its size grows. Pure hernia is observed by the emergence of the abdominal navel, for example in women during pregnancy.
Since the ivory area represents a natural weakness, the hernia also occurs frequently, hence the name of the inguinal hernia, which appears in the form of swelling, and may happen even in newborns when a small opening in the abdominal muscles is not completely closed.
The inguinal hernia is more common in men, as the man has a small hole in the groin muscles through which the blood vessels, which nourish the testicles in the blood, pass. As a result, the man is more likely to develop inguinal hernia in this area.
In addition, people working in hard jobs require lifting heavy things for example, are more likely to have hernia, while people, who work in jobs that require long periods of time, are less at risk.
Symptoms of hernia
Hernia can cause different symptoms such as constipation, nausea and vomiting. This occurs when the blood flow is interrupted to the prominent tissues, the detained tissue is released, and it may cause a blood hematology that threatens life (blood infection).
Any hernia can be held and causes an emergency medical condition, so you should consult a doctor as soon as the hernia is suspected.
The hernia treats surgically, and this is often by theoscopy of the abdomen with the least surgical intervention. Light daily activities can be practiced within a few days after the operation.
However, you should avoid exercising and lifting heavy things for a few weeks.
