WHAT IS INGUINAL HERNIA?
An inguinal hernia occurs when a tissue, often a portion of the intestine, pushes into the inguinal canal in the groin region through a weak point in the abdominal muscles. This type of hernia is common and can be painful, particularly when coughing, straining during bowel motions, or moving heavy objects.
Although they can occur at any age, inguinal hernias are more common in men than in women and are often observed in adults. Inguinal hernias are caused by inherent weakness in the abdominal wall, increased abdominal pressure, and straining during physical activity, moving heavy things, or bowel movements, according to Dr Kumar, a renowned hernia expert in Chennai.
TYPES OF INGUINAL HERNIA
Indirect Inguinal Hernia- Through the top, an indirect inguinal hernia enters your inguinal canal. Usually, a congenital deformity is the reason of this. The canal opening in certain fetuses does not completely shut during uterine development.
Direct Inguinal Hernia- This kind of inguinal hernias usually develop in elderly persons as a result of aging or muscular weakness.
Pantaloons Hernia– Both a Direct and Indirect Inguinal Hernia occurs on the same side Sliding (slider) inguinal hernia is a type of inguinal hernia in which a part of a hollow abdominal viscus (such as the bladder, cecum, or sigmoid colon) forms a portion of the wall of the hernia sac instead of being only its content.
Incomplete Inguinal Hernia– Hernia sac enters the inguinal canal through the
deep inguinal ring but does not reach the scrotum Complete Inguinal Hernia- Hernia sac does pass all the way down into the scrotum in complete inguinal hernia
Inguino Scrotal Hernia- Hernia sac passes through the inguinal canal and descends fully into the scrotum in males
Scrotal Abdomen- Hernia sac is very large, extends through the inguinal canal and occupies major portion of the scrotum sometimes extending up toward the abdomen
Congenital Inguinal Hernia- Present since birth caused by the failure of closure of the muscle, especially in Preterm Children
Recurrent inguinal hernia- Hernia that reappears at the site of a previous inguinal hernia repair after surgery

1. Medical History: The physician will ask about your risk factors, medical history, and symptoms of an inguinal hernia.
2. Physical Examination: While you are standing and laying down, the doctor will examine your groin region to check for swelling or a protrusion, which is indicative of an inguinal hernia.
3. Cough Test: To make it easier for the doctor to find the hernia, you could
be asked to cough or strain during the examination.
4.Imaging Tests: To verify the diagnosis or assess the degree of the hernia, imaging tests like a CT scan, or ultrasound may occasionally be recommended.

INGUINAL HERNIA TREATMENT IN CHENNAI
One of Chennai’s Best Hernia Surgeon, Dr Kumar , has carried out more than 10,000 hernia repair procedures, most of them using laparoscopy, the most popular and cutting-edge surgical technique. Inguinal hernias are usually treated with surgery to correct them. Repairing the compromised abdominal wall and repositioning the herniated organs or tissues are the goals of surgery. In Chennai, inguinal hernias are often treated using the following techniques:
LAPAROSCOPIC INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR:
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure. To view the hernia, the surgeon inserts a tiny tube into the belly that is equipped with a camera (laparoscope). After that, tiny incisions are used to insert tools and use mesh or sutures to fix the hernia. Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic
hernia repair is quicker recovery times, less postoperative pain, and a lower risk of infection.
OPEN INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR:
cutting straight through the hernia and repairing it with mesh or sutures. The surgeon may use sutures to reinforce the weak abdominal wall or use a synthetic mesh to provide more support.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE INGUINAL HERNIA IS LEFT
UNTREATED?
When an inguinal hernia is not addressed, it may result in many problems. The following are some likely outcomes of inguinal hernias left untreated: When the herniated tissue becomes trapped and is unable to be forced back into the abdomen, it results in an incarcerated hernia. This may result in the hernia site experiencing necessary pain, discomfort, and edema.
Strangulation: A serious consequence of a compromised blood supply to the herniated tissue is a strangulated hernia. This may cause tissue death and cause a medical emergency.
Intestinal obstruction: A partial or whole blockage of the intestine may result from a section of the intestine being stuck or twisted inside the hernia. Indications including severe stomach discomfort, bloating, constipation, and difficulty passing gas or having a bowel movement may result from this.
Enlarged and uncomfortable: An untreated inguinal hernia may progressively enlarge over time.
