<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nTypes of hernia and where they are found<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThough all hernias share similar symptoms, the variances lie in their location. Here is how to identify the different types of hernias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Groin hernias<\/strong> – Groin hernias are the most common type of hernia. There are two types of groin hernias: inguinal and femoral. Nearly 75% of all hernias are located in the groin area, and the majority of them are inguinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWith inguinal hernias, your intestines push through a weak point in your lower abdominal wall. They make a lump where your thigh and groin meet, and the lump is generally visible when you stand. Femoral hernias<\/a> are a lot less common and make up less than 4% of groin hernia cases. They also form a small lump to develop in your inner thigh area.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAbdominal hernias<\/strong> – There are multiple types of abdominal hernias. These hernias form above your groin and below your ribcage. Again, one differentiates these hernias based on their location.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHiatal hernias happen when your stomach presses up through your diaphragm muscle. These are some of the common abdominal hernias, impacting an estimated 60% of people by age 60. These hernias generally do not cause a noticeable bulge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Umbilical hernias<\/a><\/strong> form around your belly button. Epigastric hernias form in your upper abdomen, generally above your belly button. Both these types occur when your abdominal tissues push through a weak area and form a visible lump in the middle of your stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIncisional hernias<\/a><\/strong> – Incisional hernias form near surgical scars. Abdominal surgery might create a weak point in your abdomen, letting internal tissues develop a hernia by pushing through the incision.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat to do if you have a hernia<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you see a visible lump beneath your skin or you experience abdominal discomfort, do not try to diagnose the condition on your own. <\/a> to find out if you have a hernia and get a proper treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDr Amita Jain has more than 28 years of experience and will determine what type of hernia you have with a physical exam and medical imaging if required. Dr Amita Jain will review her findings with you and discuss treatment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hernias do not heal on their own, so you might need minimally invasive surgery to repair the injury. In certain cases, it is recommended to be watchful and wait for small hernias that aren\u2019t causing pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
