A hernia is a defect in the muscle wall or the layer of tissue containing the abdominal organs, allowing the organs to protrude through the opening. It can be painful and require medical attention for prevention and treatment.
The process of hernia prevention involves strengthening the abdominal muscles. Doing exercises regularly, such as weight lifting, abdominal crunches, push–ups, and squats, can help prevent the formation of hernias. It is also important to maintain a healthy weight and avoid excessive strain. However, if you already have a hernia, your doctor may recommend surgical treatment.
Hernia surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, and can be done in two ways: with mesh closure or with sutures. During surgery, the doctor repairs the abdominal wall and sutures it to prevent hernia recurrence. Additionally, hernia treatment may also include the use of compression devices, such as belts or bands, to help keep the hernia in place. These devices are often used for temporary pain relief, but are not able to repair the hernia.
Overall, hernia treatment involves medical follow–up and surgical treatment. However, prevention is always the best option. In addition to strengthening the abdominal muscles, it is important to maintain a healthy weight and avoid excessive strain.
