A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or connective tissue, commonly seen in the abdomen or groin area. Hernias do not heal on their own and can gradually increase in size, causing pain and serious complications if left untreated.
At SurgicalSol, under the expert care of Dr. Asif Iqbal, we offer advanced and reliable treatment for all types of hernias. As a highly experienced Gastrointestinal and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Dr. Asif focuses on accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive surgical repair to ensure long-lasting results and quick recovery.
Common Symptoms of Hernia
-
Visible bulge or swelling in the abdomen or groin
-
Pain or discomfort, especially while lifting, coughing, or bending
-
Burning or aching sensation at the affected site
-
Feeling of heaviness or pressure
-
Worsening pain over time
If a hernia becomes painful, hard, or non-reducible, urgent medical evaluation is necessary.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Dr. Asif performs a detailed physical examination and may recommend ultrasound or CT scan to confirm the type and size of the hernia. Proper evaluation helps in planning the most effective surgical approach.
Treatment Options
The definitive treatment for hernia is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair (Keyhole Surgery). During this minimally invasive procedure, the weak muscle area is reinforced with a medical-grade mesh to prevent recurrence. This technique offers less pain, faster recovery, minimal scarring, and durable results.
