Don’t Delay Medical Help for Hernia Due to Confusion: Experts Warn Timely Diagnosis Can Prevent Serious Risks
Health experts are urging people not to ignore unusual discomfort in the abdomen, groin, or stomach area, as delayed medical consultation for hernia can increase health risks. Many individuals hesitate to seek treatment due to confusion or uncertainty about symptoms, but doctors emphasize that early diagnosis ensures simple procedures, faster recovery, and better quality of life.
Dr. Deepak Kulkarni, senior consultant Hernia, surgeon of Healing Hands Clinic, explained that hernia does not always appear as a visible lump. “It can present as dull pain, heaviness, or discomfort, especially when standing, lifting weights, or coughing. Even without swelling, if something feels abnormal, it’s important to get it checked,” he said.
Dr Kulkarni has more than 15 years of experience in Hernia surgeries, both laparoscopy and 3-D Mesh repair.
While hernia is more common in men, women are no exception
Dr. Anuradha Jagtap consultant, surgeon of Healing Hands Clinic highlighted that women may experience mild abdominal heaviness or discomfort, often mistaken for digestive or gynecological issues. In men, swelling in the groin or thigh region is more common and in woman umbilical Hernia are very common, especially after pregnancy. Doctors advise that anyone noticing persistent pain, pressure, or swelling in these areas should seek medical evaluation promptly.
Because of advanced technology, better Vision in laparoscopy, and the availability of 3-D mesh, dual mesh and sometimes totally absorbable, the procedure of Hernia surgery has become easier and better reducing hospital stays and allowing patients to resume daily activities faster.
Lifestyle choices also play a key role in prevention. Maintaining a healthy weight, practicing safe lifting techniques, controlling chronic cough, and strengthening core muscles can significantly reduce risks.
Doctors warn that ignoring continuous discomfort or visible bulges may worsen the condition. Timely consultation and modern treatment approaches make hernia completely curable, restoring comfort, confidence, and normalcy for both men and women.
