How is Hernia Diagnosed?

Diagnosis is typically straightforward but important to confirm the severity and type. It may include:

Doctors check for bulges and assess if they increase with coughing or standing.
Imaging tests may be ordered to evaluate hidden or complicated hernias.
Includes lifestyle, previous surgeries, and symptoms.
Blood tests and urine analysis may be performed before surgery to rule out infections.

Advanced Treatment Options for Hernia

Pristyn Care in Delhi offers advanced surgical solutions that ensure safety and faster recovery:

Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery: Minimally invasive technique using small incisions, a camera, and specialized instruments to repair the hernia with a mesh. Provides less pain and faster healing compared to open surgery.
Open Hernia Surgery: Involves a larger incision to push the hernia back into place and reinforce the area with a mesh. Often used in complicated or recurrent hernias.
Laser-Assisted Hernia Surgery: Uses precise energy delivery for smaller incisions, less bleeding, and quicker recovery.
Mesh Repair (Hernioplasty): A mesh is placed over the weakened muscle to reinforce the abdominal wall and prevent recurrence.

Recovery Time

Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery and overall health. Patients undergoing laparoscopic or laser-assisted hernia surgery usually return to light activities within 3 to 5 days. Full recovery with normal physical activity may take 2 to 4 weeks. Traditional open surgery may require 4 to 6 weeks for complete recovery.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before Surgery:
Patients undergo diagnostic tests and medical evaluations. Surgeons provide instructions on diet, medication adjustments, and pre-surgery hygiene.

During Surgery:
The procedure typically takes 30 to 90 minutes. Laparoscopic and laser-assisted surgeries are done under anesthesia using small incisions for minimal discomfort.

After Surgery:
Patients are monitored for a few hours before discharge, often on the same day or within 24 hours. Pain relief medications and antibiotics are prescribed. Surgeons also guide patients on wound care and activity restrictions.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Day 1-3: Mild pain or swelling, managed with medications. Patients can walk and perform light activities.
Week 1: Incisions begin to heal. Patients can resume desk jobs.
Week 2-3: Increased mobility and gradual return to normal activities.
Week 4 onwards: Most patients regain full physical strength.

Post-treatment care includes:

Avoiding heavy lifting or straining for at least 4 weeks.
Maintaining healthy body weight.
Eating fiber-rich food to prevent constipation.
Attending follow-up visits for monitoring recovery.
