An Epigastric Hernia is a lump formed between the belly button line and sternum (a line between the breast) that causes pain. The abdominal cavity is home to your intestines and other structures. An abdominal wall consists of four layers to protect these organs.
A hernia in the abdomen occurs when fat pushes out through a weakness between the belly button and the sternum. Whenever fat presses on the abdominal wall, it causes pain.
An epigastric hernia is common in adults and children both. Among all the hernias, 2-3% are epigastric hernias. Umbilical and epigastric hernias, on the other hand, can be diagnosed or developed later in childhood or adulthood. While they rarely cause major complications when they develop later in life, they must be surgically repaired — especially in adults.

In our well-equipped partnered hospitals, we have 400+ doctors who guarantee a comfortable patient stay. Here are some more reasons why Pristyn Care is the right choice for epigastric hernia treatment:
It is common for Epigastric Hernia to exist from birth. Incomplete closure of abdominal tissues during development or weakness in abdominal wall muscles can cause it to form.
Some other factors that are responsible for causing epigastric hernia include:
Sometimes, people having epigastric hernia may not feel any symptoms. Many people are unaware of their epigastric hernias during their childhood and adolescence. However, children may experience the symptoms from a very young age. Some common symptoms may include:
Some actions like heavy exercise, stretching, straining, weight lifting, screaming, crying, or having a bowel movement may also cause extreme pain. Some epigastric hernias are reducible and may come and go over time.
Usually hernias do not heal on their own and surgery is the only option to treat them. If the hernia is repaired, symptoms will be alleviated and complications, such as tissue damage, will be reduced.
Diagnosis
Here are some diagnostic tests for epigastric hernia that your surgeon will most likely prescribe:
Treatment
Before Surgery
Before surgery, the doctor may advise the patient to lose weight or quit smoking in order to reduce any risk factors.
If medically necessary, an individual may be admitted the day before surgery or required to stay in the hospital the night after surgery, or both. In most cases, a patient will be admitted on the day of surgery and released that evening.
Epigastric hernia surgery can be performed as an inpatient or outpatient procedure. Usually all the procedures are performed under general or local anesthesia. It usually takes around 30 minutes to complete the procedure.
The surgery can be performed by three approaches.

If you have any medical issues, you must notify your doctor and follow any recommendations. To prepare for epigastric hernia surgery, your surgeon may give you the following standard instructions:
Self-care at home after surgery is critical for a quick recovery. Mild exercises, healthy eating, wound care, and so on are all part of it. Here are some ideas to help you recover quickly after epigastric hernia treatment:
Incision treatment
Physical activities include: Avoid strenuous activities for the first few weeks following surgery. Then, to avoid scarring, begin light exercises and walking.
Diet: Increase your protein and fibre intake. It aids in the healing of your body. Foods high in vitamins B, C, iron, and zinc can also help with recovery. Drink plenty of water and limit your caffeine intake to stay hydrated.
Medications: Take your medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Like all surgeries, epigastric surgeries also have some risks and complications. Some of them may include:
An epigastric hernia can cause severe pain as well as other potentially serious issues that may necessitate emergency surgery.
Yes. It is possible to live with a hernia if it is not causing pain or discomfort.
Here are some suggestions to treat an epigastric hernia naturally:
Internal hernias can rupture internally, though this is uncommon. Coughing, lifting weights, straining with defecation, or other circumstances that increase intra-abdominal pressure can all cause a spontaneous rupture.
A patient’s bladder may become trapped within the hernia at times. If this occurs, you may experience urinary burning, frequent infections, bladder stones, and frequent urination.
