What Is an Inguinal Hernia?

An inguinal hernia happens when a weak spot in the lower tummy muscles allows a small part of the intestine to bulge out, forming a soft lump in the groin. It may hurt while lifting, walking, or coughing and often gets bigger with movement. If the lump stops going back inside, it can become serious and needs quick treatment. Many patients choose safe and advanced care for this condition through Inguinal Hernia Surgeries in Indore.

Symptoms of Inguinal Hernia

Here are the common symptoms explained simply:
  • A soft swelling or lump in the groin area
  • Pain when lifting heavy objects
  • Feeling of pressure or heaviness in the groin
  • Burning or pulling sensation
  • Lump becomes bigger when coughing, standing, or straining
  • In children, crying may make the lump bigger
  • Sometimes, severe pain with vomiting (in dangerous cases)
If the hernia gets stuck inside and cannot go back, it becomes an emergency called strangulated hernia. This needs quick surgery for safety.

Types of Inguinal Hernia (Direct & Indirect)

There are two main types:

1) Direct Inguinal Hernia

  • Happens due to weak muscles over time
  • Mostly seen in adults
  • Caused by age, heavy lifting, or chronic cough

2) Indirect Inguinal Hernia

  • Can also appear in adults later
  • Seen in babies, children, and young adults
  • Happens when the opening in the groin does not close properly after birth
Both types need treatment, and Inguinal Hernia Surgeries in Indore offer safe and reliable solutions for both.

When Do You Need Inguinal Hernia Surgery?

You may need surgery if:

  • The lump keeps increasing
  • Pain becomes regular
  • You cannot lift objects comfortably
  • You feel pressure or discomfort while walking
  • The hernia gets stuck (no longer goes back inside)
  • You want to prevent complications
Doctors usually advise surgery early to avoid emergencies.

Most patients can:

  • Walk the same day

  • Return home within 24 hours

  • Resume light activities in 3–5 days
