Actually, hernia is not terrible, it has been documented in ancient China and also in ancient Egypt. It is a very ancient disease that has been around since the beginning of mankind. Hernias are not fatal in general and both men and women can get them, generally speaking they are more common in men and probably more common in women with femoral hernias! First of all, let’s talk about what is a hernia: an organ or tissue in the body that leaves its normal anatomical site and enters another part through a weak point, defect or orifice formed congenitally or acquired is called a hernia (hernia). Most hernias occur in the abdomen, with extra-abdominal hernias being the most common. An extra-abdominal hernia is caused by the protrusion of an organ or tissue from the abdominal cavity, together with the peritoneal wall layer, through a weak point or aperture in the abdominal wall, towards the body surface. Intra-abdominal hernias are formed by the entry of organs or tissues into the interstitial sacs of the abdominal cavity, such as omental foramen hernia. In fact, simply put, a hernia is like a hole in the outer tire (human peritoneum) of a bicycle, and the inner tire (intra-abdominal organs) is exposed through the hole in the outer tire, which may threaten the safety of the inner tire, that is, the organs in the abdominal cavity, and thus lead to intestinal obstruction or other symptoms. Sometimes you will hear a grunt, which is actually the sound of gas in the intestinal canal in the abdomen. So what kinds of hernias do people get? The most common are inguinal hernias, umbilical hernias, white line hernias, incisional hernias, parastomal hernias, hallux valgus hernias, esophageal hiatal hernias, diaphragmatic hernias, pelvic floor hernias, etc.
