A small bulge that appears while lifting weight or coughing often looks harmless at first. Over time, it increases in size and discomfort. Dr Navneet Thakur in Andheri East offers hernia repair to correct abdominal wall defects and prevent serious complications. Hernias commonly occur in the groin, near the navel or at previous surgical scar sites.
Hernia repair involves returning the protruded tissue back to its normal position and reinforcing the weakened muscle layer. Mesh-based repair has become a standard approach because it lowers recurrence rates and provides stronger abdominal support. Laparoscopic hernia repair is also widely used due to minimal scarring and faster recovery, especially in bilateral or recurrent hernias.
Leaving a hernia untreated can lead to obstruction or strangulation of intestines, which then becomes an emergency. Early planned repair is safer than waiting for complications. Guidance after surgery focuses on weight control, avoiding heavy lifting initially, preventing constipation and building core strength gradually to support long term results.
