Inguinal hernia\u003cbr\u003eThis is the most frequent type of hernia.\u003cbr\u003eMales tend more likely to have inguinal hernias as they have a small tunnel in the tissues of their groins which happened when they were developing as a baby.\u003cbr\u003eTissue from the intestines can also travel into this tunnel, forming an inguinal hernia.\u003cbr\u003eThere are two main forms:\u003cbr\u003ea. Indirect hernias, which are normally congenital and frequent in boys, and\u003cbr\u003eb. Direct hernias, which are more frequent in adult men.\u003cbr\u003eThey can happen in both sides of the body.\u003cbr\u003e2. Femoral hernia\u003cbr\u003eFemoral hernia is a bulge in the upper thigh, just below the groin.\u003cbr\u003eThis happens when some tissue pushes through in the groin, a little lower down than where an inguinal hernia is produced.\u003cbr\u003eThey occur more often in women.\u003cbr\u003e3. Incisional hernia\u003cbr\u003eIncisional hernia can occur through a scar if the patient had abdominal surgery in the past.\u003cbr\u003e4. Umbilical and para-umbilical hernias\u003cbr\u003eUmbilical hernia is a bulge around the navel\u003cbr\u003eIt happens when some tissue pushes through the abdomen near to the navel (umbilicus)\u003cbr\u003e5. Hiatal Hernia\u003cbr\u003ePart of the upper stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest.\u003cbr\u003e6. Richter hernia\u003cbr\u003eThe Richter hernia happens when only the anti-mesenteric border of the bowel protrudes through the fascial defect\u003cbr\u003e7. Spigelian hernia\u003cbr\u003eThis rare type of abdominal wall hernia happens through a defect in the spigelian fascia defined by the lateral edge of the rectus muscle at the semi-lunar line (costal arch to the pubic tubercle)\u003cbr\u003e8. Obturator hernia\u003cbr\u003eThis hernia passes through the obturator foramen, tracking the path of the obturator nerves and muscles.\u003cbr\u003eOther hernias\u003cbr\u003e1. Epiploceles - Abnormal formation of the decussations of the linea alba, resulting in a midline pattern of single anterior and posterior lines, is vulnerable to the formation of epigastric hernias.\u003cbr\u003e2. Internal supra-vesical hernias probably occur from a congenital fascial deficiency.\u003cbr\u003e3. Peri-hernial fasciae or muscles may be abnormally formed in lumbar hernias.\u003cbr\u003e4. Inter-parietal hernias are often a creation of ectopic testicular descent.\u003cbr\u003e5. Perineal Hernia - Multi-parity and age form laxity of the pelvic floor to cause perineal hernias.\u003cbr\u003eCongenital abdominal wall defects\u003cbr\u003e1. Omphalocele\u003cbr\u003e2. Gastroschisis\u003cbr\u003e3. Pentalogy of Cantrell\u003cbr\u003eHernias may occur at birth, but the bulge may not be obvious until later in life.\u003cbr\u003eSome people have a family history of hernias.\u003cbr\u003eBabies and children can have hernias.\u003cbr\u003eIt occurs when there is weakness in the abdominal wall.\u003cbr\u003eInguinal hernias are frequent in boys\u003cbr\u003eOccasionally, hernias can happen due to:\u003cbr\u003e1. Heavy lifting\u003cbr\u003e2. Straining while using the toilet\u003cbr\u003e3. Any activity that increases the pressure inside the abdomen\u003cbr\u003eThe doctor can normally see or feel a hernia when the patient is examined.\u003cbr\u003eThe patient is examined both standing and lying and is asked to cough or strain.\u003cbr\u003eThe doctor may insert a finger through the top of the scrotum into the external inguinal ring and feel for a lump when coughing\u003cbr\u003eSurgery is the only treatment that can permanently repair a hernia.\u003cbr\u003eSurgery may be more dangerous for people with serious medical disorders.\u003cbr\u003eSurgery repairs the weakened abdominal wall tissue (fascia) and tightens any holes.\u003cbr\u003eMost hernias are tightened with stitches and occasionally with mesh patches to close the hole.\u003cbr\u003eAn umbilical hernia that does not recover on its own by the time a child is 5 years old will likely need to be repaired.\u003cbr\u003eA hernia can cause strangulation when too much intestine comes through the gap in the muscle or ligament and becomes squeezed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTABLE OF CONTENT\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Hernia\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 Causes\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 Symptoms\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 Diagnosis\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 Treatment\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 Prognosis\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 Intussusception\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 Varicocele\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kenneth Kee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076304027888,"sku":"2940154405802","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154405802_p0.jpg?v=1764066773","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154405802","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
