He serves patients across Agra and the 150 km radius with minimally invasive techniques that reduce pain and recurrence.
### What Are Inguinal and Umbilical Hernias?
- **Inguinal Hernia**: Occurs in the groin area when tissue (often intestine) protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. More common in men.
- **Umbilical Hernia**: Happens near the navel when fat or intestine pushes through the abdominal wall at the belly button. Common in adults with obesity, pregnancy history, or previous surgeries.
Both can worsen over time and risk complications like obstruction or strangulation.
### Common Symptoms
- Visible bulge that increases with coughing, standing, or straining.
- Pain or discomfort at the site, especially while lifting or bending.
- Burning or dragging sensation in the groin (inguinal) or around the navel.
- In advanced cases: Nausea, vomiting, or inability to push the bulge back (emergency signs).
### Main Causes and Risk Factors
- Weakness in abdominal wall muscles (congenital or acquired).
- Heavy lifting, chronic coughing, or constipation.
- Obesity, pregnancy, previous abdominal surgery.
- Smoking or chronic straining.
Early diagnosis prevents emergencies.
