Do you have these symptoms?
- ✓ A visible bulge in the abdomen or groin, more noticeable when standing or straining
- ✓ A dragging or heavy feeling around the bulge
- ✓ Discomfort that worsens with lifting, coughing, or prolonged standing
- ✓ A bulge that reduces or disappears when lying down
In my practice, here's what hernia usually looks like
Most patients describe a bulge they've been watching for months, hoping it stays the same size. Hernias don't heal on their own and tend to enlarge over time. Once confirmed, laparoscopic repair with mesh is usually the right next step, before it becomes an emergency.
How I treat it
I perform laparoscopic hernia repair using a 3D mesh technique through small keyhole incisions. Most patients are discharged the same day and return to light activity within a week, with a low recurrence rate compared to open surgery.
