2. Hernia • A hernia occurs when part of an internal organ or body part protrudes through an opening into another area where it ordinarily should not be located. • There are many different types of hernias depending on the location it found. • Some hernias are present at birth, while others develop during adulthood.

3. Different Types of Hernia  • Femoral hernia: As the name suggests this type of hernia causes a bulge in the upper thigh just below the groin. The passage between the abdomen and the thigh containing the large blood vessels namely the femoral artery and vein gets herniated. It is more common in women than men.

5. Inguinal hernia: The natural passageway through the abdominal wall is called the inguinal canal. A protrusion of abdominal cavity content such as portion of intestine or internal fat through this canal due to a weakness is called Inguinal Hernia and is common among men.

6. Incisional hernia: Technically this type of hernia is due to incision in the abdominal area owing to a previous surgery. The skin may heal but the weakness in the abdominal wall in and around the area of surgery may cause the muscle to be pulled apart resulting in hernia. • Epigastric hernia: A weakness or opening of the muscles or bones between the breastbone and the navel may result in protrusions or fat bulges through it. Such herniations are called epigastric hernias.

7. Hiatal or Hiatus hernia: The upper part of the stomach pushing up through the diaphragm is known as Hiatal Hernia. This is primarily due to a tear or weakness in the diaphragm. • Ventral hernia: Abdominal hernias which may develop at birth or due to partial closure of abdominal wall are called ventral hernias. They may develop due to an incision done during abdominal surgery, which may not have healed properly.

8. Umbilical hernia: Generally occurring as a birth defect this type of hernia is a protrusion of the intestine or fat bulges through the abdominal wall under the navel or belly button. In adults it may develop in obese or pregnant women.
