Hernias occur when part of a tissue or body organ, such as a loop of intestine or omentum (fat in the abdomen), slips through a weak point or opening in the muscle wall. Fat can leak into a place where it does not normally belong. The result can be a lump or bulge.
Each type of hernia requires specific medical intervention. Here are some of the types of best child surgeon for hernia in Dadar.
Epigastric hernias occur when part of the intestine or omentum protrudes through the abdominal muscles between the chest and stomach.
These hernias are usually small and cause no symptoms other than occasional pain. Large hernias, on the other hand, cause symptoms and do not heal on their own, but can be treated with surgery.
An umbilical hernia occurs when part of the intestine or omentum passes through the abdominal wall inside the belly button. It may look like a lump under the navel. It is usually not painful, but if it becomes stubborn it can sometimes cause serious problems.
It usually closes by itself when the child is two years old. If it persists, doctors resort to surgery.
Inguinal hernias occur when part of a child's intestines or omentum passes through an opening in the lower abdomen. This is caused by the presence of an open vaginal opening. Inguinal hernias cause serious complications that require prompt treatment. Treatment involves surgical intervention.
