How a Hiatal Hernia Is Treated
A hiatal hernia is a condition in which the upper part of your stomach bulges through an opening in your diaphragm.1 Different types of hiatal hernia, such as a paraesophageal hernia, can require different treatments. A sliding hiatal hernia is the most common type.
Understanding and Managing Pain After Hernia Surgery
It is not uncommon to experience pain after hernia surgery as you might with any other surgery. With inguinal hernia surgery of the groin, however, the pain may be due to the normal healing of the wound, an immune reaction to the mesh used to repair the hernia, or damage caused to local nerves (resulting in a pain condition known as post-herniorrhaphy neuralgia).
What to Do About a Groin Hernia
An inguinal hernia is when a section of the intestine bulges through a weak spot in the inguinal canal. The inguinal canal is a passageway through the abdominal wall near the groin.
