At Yupiter Hospital, we prioritize your health and well-being, ensuring you have access to comprehensive information about various medical conditions. One such condition is a hernia, which involves an abnormal bulging or protrusion of internal organs. This occurs when a part of the body pushes through the muscular and tissue walls meant to hold it in place. Weakness in these muscles and tissues can lead to the formation of a hernia, commonly occurring within the abdominal cavity between the chest and hips.
Types of Hernias
- Inguinal Hernia
- Femoral Hernia
- Umbilical Hernia
- Hiatal Hernia
- Incisional Hernia
- Epigastric Hernia
- Spigelian Hernia
- Diaphragmatic Hernia
Causes of Hernias
The primary cause of a hernia is the weakening of the muscles that support the organs. This weakness can arise from various factors, including congenital conditions, aging, or repetitive strain on the abdominal and groin areas. Factors contributing to muscle weakening include physical exertion, obesity, constipation, pregnancy, and chronic coughing.
Symptoms of Hernias
Common symptoms of a hernia may include:
- An abnormal bulge or lump in the abdomen or groin
- Pain and discomfort in the abdomen, pelvis, or groin
- Swelling in the groin area
- Pain while lifting objects
- A frequently appearing bulge
- Signs of bowel obstruction
Diagnosis and Treatment
Hernias are typically diagnosed through physical examination, where the bulge can be felt or seen. If the bulge is not evident, imaging tests, such as a CT scan, may be recommended for a definitive diagnosis.
Treatment often involves surgical intervention, as hernias do not resolve on their own. There are two main types of surgery for hernia correction:
- Open Surgery: This traditional method involves making a larger incision to access the protrusion, allowing the surgeon to reposition the tissues and stitch the incision closed.
- Laparoscopic Surgery: This minimally invasive technique involves several small incisions, through which the surgeon can correct the hernia with less discomfort and a quicker recovery.

Bariatric Surgery
At Yupiter Hospital, we understand that weight management can be challenging, and sometimes traditional methods like diet and exercise are not enough. Bariatric surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures designed to facilitate significant weight loss by altering the digestive tract. These surgeries are often recommended for individuals who struggle to lose weight through conventional means or who face health risks related to their weight.
Types of Bariatric Surgery
- Gastric Bypass: This procedure creates a small pouch in the stomach, which connects directly to the small intestine, allowing food to bypass a portion of the stomach.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: A substantial portion of the stomach is removed, resulting in a smaller, tube-shaped stomach that restricts food intake.
- Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): This involves a sleeve gastrectomy followed by connecting the intestine to the duodenum, facilitating considerable weight loss.
Indications for Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery may be indicated for individuals facing the following health issues:
- Heart diseases
- Stroke
- Hypertension
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
- Sleep apnea
- Type 2 diabetes
Risks of Bariatric Surgery
While bariatric surgery can offer life-changing benefits, it also carries some risks, including:
- Excessive bleeding
- Infection
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia
- Blood clots
- Breathing problems
- Leaks in the gastrointestinal system
- Bowel obstruction
- Gallstones
- Hernias
- Low blood sugar
- Ulcers
- Acid reflux
