Frequently asked questions and answers about hernias
Can a hernia go away on its own?
Many people hope that a hernia will "go back" and resolve itself… unfortunately, that's not how it works.
Bilateral hernia – in one surgery!
Many people ask: if a hernia has developed on both sides, does that require two separate procedures? The answer: not necessarily. In certain cases, a bilateral hernia can be operated in a single surgery – especially using laparoscopic or robotic surgical techniques.
If I have a hernia, do I need immediate surgery?
Hernias don't always need to be operated on immediately. However, if a hernia is suspected, it is worth seeing a specialist straight away. In the vast majority of cases, surgery can be well planned if there is no acute situation.
What is hernia incarceration?
This occurs when the contents of the hernia become trapped and can no longer return to the abdominal cavity. This can cause circulatory problems and requires immediate medical attention.
How hernias develop
There is often a congenital or acquired weak point in the abdominal wall, onto which the everyday strain gradually accumulates over time: coughing, physical work, persistent intra-abdominal pressure.
Can you have a hernia without any pain at all?
Yes! Many hernias can be completely symptom-free for a long time, which is why they are often only discovered during a routine examination.
