Incisional Hernia
Understanding Incisional Hernia
An incisional hernia occurs when tissues/organ pushes through a weakness in the abdominal wall at the site of a previous surgical incision. This type of hernia can develop after abdominal surgery and may cause discomfort and complications if not treated. Prompt medical attention is necessary to repair the hernia and prevent further issues.
Common Causes of Incisional Hernia
- Previous Surgery: Surgical incisions can create weak spots in the abdominal wall.
- Infection: Post-surgical infections can weaken the incision site.
- Increased Abdominal Pressure: Obesity, heavy lifting, or chronic coughing.
Symptoms of Incisional Hernia
- Bulge or swelling at the site of the previous surgical incision
- Pain or discomfort, especially when lifting, coughing, or straining
- Tenderness or pressure in the affected area
- Nausea and vomiting (if complications arise)
