A hernia is when tissue or an organ protrudes through muscle tissues or the membrane. Hernia symptoms are not always obvious but generally a person with a hernia will feel pain and often a lump in that area.
Hernias usually occur in the abdomen but can occur in other areas such as around the spinal discs, the anal area, brain, thigh and pelvis. Not all hernia symptoms are obvious as not all hernias are painful. Sometimes people are unaware they have a hernia until it becomes visible.
Once you think you have Hernia symptoms consult your doctor. Hernia repair can be performed by Dr. Wong at the Central Coast Weight Loss and Minimally Invasive Surgery.
