Inguinal Hernia

An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall, often in the inguinal canal. This type is more common in males and can cause pain or discomfort, especially when bending over, coughing, or lifting heavy objects.

Incisional Hernia

An incisional hernia happens at the site of a previous surgical incision. After surgery, the abdominal wall might not heal properly, leading to a bulge or lump. This type of hernia can be painful and may require hernia surgery for proper hernia treatment.

Femoral Hernia

A femoral hernia appears when tissue pushes through the femoral canal, located just below the groin. It is more common in women and can cause pain and discomfort. Immediate medical attention is often needed to prevent complications and decide on the best hernia treatment.

Umbilical Hernia

An umbilical hernia occurs near the belly button when part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall. It is common in new-borns but can also affect adults. Symptoms include a noticeable discomfort, which may require surgical intervention for proper hernia treatment.
