Do you feel a bulge in your groin, belly, or near a previous surgical scar? It could be a hernia—a common condition where internal tissue pushes through a weak spot in your abdominal muscles. If left untreated, a hernia can become painful and even dangerous. Fortunately, hernia repair surgery is a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution.
A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak area in the muscle wall. Common types include:
Inguinal Hernia – in the groin area (most common in men)
Umbilical Hernia – near the belly button
Incisional Hernia – at the site of a previous surgery
Femoral Hernia – below the groin (more common in women)
Hiatal Hernia – when part of the stomach pushes into the chest through the diaphragm
A noticeable bulge or swelling
Discomfort or pain, especially while lifting, coughing, or standing
Heaviness or pressure in the abdomen
In some cases, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty passing stool (emergency signs)
Hernias don’t heal on their own. Surgery is the only permanent cure. At Fortune Hospital, Kanpur, Dr. Manish Verma offers advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) hernia repair techniques such as:
TEP (Totally Extraperitoneal Repair)
TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair)

These modern methods involve small cuts, faster healing, less pain, and minimal scarring.
