Ever had any of your family members show these symptoms? Unexplained pain near the stomach region with severe acid reflux or pain in the groin region with difficulty lifting heavy items. A bulging belly button in an adult or baby that can sometimes cause pain. All these are signs and symptoms of different types of hernia. A hernia is most often described as the bulging of a tissue that pushes through organs putting a lot of pressure. This health condition is explained quite well with the analogy of a bulging portion of a damaged tire. Similarly, the tissue squeezes through a weak point and stays so, causing pain and discomfort that may hinder normal activities. The good news is that you do not have to battle a hernia forever. Hernia repair is a common medical procedure done to put the protruding tissue in its place or remove it off. This procedure is also referred to as herniorrhaphy. Let’s take a look at the types of hernias and the treatment options.
