A hernia is a medical condition when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in your muscles. It happens when an internal organ or other body parts protrude through the wall of tissues that usually contains it. Most hernias are known to occur within the abdominal cavity, between the chest and the hips. 

Symptoms of Hernia

Hernia, when developed in the abdomen or groin area, shows a noticeable lump that can be pushed back in. This lump or bulge can disappear when lying down. During certain activities like laughing, crying, coughing, straining during a bowel movement, etc., may make the lump reappear after it has been pushed in. Some more symptoms of a hernia are:

• Swelling in the groin or scrotum
• Intense pain in the area of the bulge
• Pain while heavy lifting
• An increase in the bulge size in a short period
• A sense of full or signs of bowel obstruction

Treatment of Hernia

Doctors can prescribe one of the three types of surgery according to the disease, your age, and its severity. These are:

• Open Surgery: The surgeon makes a cut into the body at the location of the hernia. Then the protruding tissue is placed back while the weakened muscle wall is stitched back together. Doctors may also advise implanting a type of mesh in the affected area to provide extra support, as per the patient's condition. 

• Laparoscopic Surgery: Although the procedure is almost the same as in open surgery, instead      of a cut on the abdomen, surgeons make tiny incisions. Through this little hole, they insert surgical tools to cure the hernia problem. 

• Robotic Hernia Repair: Just like laparoscopic surgery, it is also done with tiny incisions. Surgeons perform the surgery with the help of a console, and the robot handles the surgical instruments under the guidance of the surgeon. 

Hernia Cost in India

Hernia surgery cost depends on a number of factors, like:

• Your choice of Hospital
• OT grade
• Surgeon fees
• Anesthetic fees

• Room grade as per personal preference

Hernia repair in India can be done for approximately Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000, depending on the type of surgery performed. Hernia treatment cost varies in different hospitals and cities.
