Get Advanced Hernia Surgery in Chittagong at Pristyn Care
The most effective method to treat hernia is surgical repair. At Pristyn Care, we provide advanced laparoscopic and conventional treatment for hernias. In most cases, both patients and doctors prefer the laparoscopic technique as it is minimally invasive and provides better results. However, laparoscopic hernia surgery may not be the right option for every patient. Therefore, our doctors diagnose the patient thoroughly and then recommend the most suitable treatment.
What are the different types of hernia treated at Pristyn Care?
At Pristyn Care, we provide treatment for all types of hernias through open or laparoscopic techniques. The most common types of hernia are-
- Inguinal hernia– It occurs in the upper part of the thigh or groin. Around 75% of hernia cases are related to the inguinal canal. This type of hernia is more common in men as compared to women, as the testicles are descended through the inguinal canal.
- Femoral hernia– This type of hernia arises right below the groin crease. It is more common in women and occurs when the muscles are weakened due to the results of pregnancy and childbirth. This type of hernia can lead to complications very quickly. That’s why it is usually treated right after diagnosis.
- Umbilical hernia– This occurs when the intestine starts pushing through the umbilical opening. They are most common in infants, young children, and women. In children, umbilical hernia usually resolves on its own. However, in adults, surgical repair is required to treat the condition.
- Hiatal hernia– It occurs when the stomach tissue protrudes from the diaphragm into the chest cavity. It is common in people aged above 50. This type of hernia causes heartburn, abdominal discomfort, and difficulty in swallowing foods and drinks.
- Ventral hernia– This arises as a result of a bulge or tears in the ventral surface. They are also called incisional hernias, as they are most common in people who have had abdominal surgery in the past.
Apart from these types, there are other types of hernia that are less common but all require surgery for treatment.
How to prevent the recurrence of hernia after surgery?
The chances of recurrence after laparoscopic hernia treatment are almost negligible. This is so because only small keyhole-sized incisions are made during the procedure, which doesn’t affect the integrity of the abdominal muscle wall. Still, most hernia specialists ask the patients to follow the tips below to prevent hernia recurrence-
- Avoid constipation by taking a fiber-rich diet
- Don’t let your cough become chronic
- Avoid strain during urination or bowel movements
- Maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly to strengthen the muscles
- Do not engage in activities that are strenuous and put excessive pressure on the muscles
- Lift weight by using the feet, not the back muscles
By following the doctor’s advice, you will be able to live a healthy life.
