Inguinal hernia is the most common type of hernia that occurs when tissues or intestines protrude through a weak point in the muscle wall around the inguinal canal or groin. Around 70% of cases of hernia are associated with inguinal hernia and it mostly arises in males. In the beginning, an inguinal hernia may not cause pain but a bulge will appear that may hurt occasionally when you cough, lift heavy objects or bend over.
Though inguinal hernia is not dangerous, it doesn’t improve on its own. But in some situations, it can cause complications that can be life-threatening. Considering this, repairing an inguinal hernia is very important. You can contact Pristyn Care and talk to the best hernia doctors in Delhi. They will diagnose your condition and suggest a plausible treatment method accordingly.

Diagnosis
If an individual has pain in the groin region, he/she usually goes to a primary care provider (PCP) first. The PCP may physically examine the patient and suggest that they visit a general surgeon or gastroenterologist for further evaluation.
To properly diagnose a hernia, the doctor will perform a thorough physical exam. He/she will check the bulge in the groin area and ask you to cough while standing. This will make the hernia more prominent and easier to detect.
If the physical examination doesn’t reveal conclusive evidence, the doctor may recommend imaging tests, such as abdominal ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI.
Procedure
If the inguinal hernia is not bothering and doesn’t have severe symptoms, the doctor may recommend watchful waiting. Sometimes, a supportive truss is suggested to alleviate the symptoms.
For large and painful inguinal hernia, the doctor will recommend surgical treatment. Generally, the patient can undergo open hernia repair surgery or minimally invasive hernia repair surgery. At Pristyn Care, we provide advanced treatment and hence use minimally invasive techniques to repair hernia.
The technique is known as laparoscopic hernia repair surgery and the steps involved in the procedure are explained below-
As hernia surgery is a major procedure, a minimum of 24 hours of hospitalization is necessary. Once the doctor ensures that the surgery was successful and the patient is well, he/she will be discharged.

Inguinal hernia itself doesn’t lead to death. However, it can cause complications such as bowel obstructions or strangulation that can be life-threatening. If these complications are not resolved, it can cause sepsis or tissue death that may lead to organ failure and, ultimately death. Therefore, it is crucial to get timely treatment for an inguinal hernia as well as for other types of hernia.
Pristyn Care has its own clinics across Delhi where patients who are seeking hernia treatment can visit and consult with experts. However, we do not have our own hospitals. Instead, we are partnered with top hospitals and utilize their infrastructure, medical equipment, diagnostic tools, and other amenities to provide optimal healthcare services to the patients.
Inguinal hernia surgery cost in Delhi varies for each patient. The cost ranges from Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 90,000 approximately. The overall expense can further increase depending on various factors.
Yes. Most health insurance policies cover inguinal hernia treatment. This is so because hernias can lead to life-threatening complications if not treated on time.
The duration of the hospital stay is generally decided by the doctor. Typically, hernia repair is done on an outpatient basis and the patient gets discharged within 24 hours after the surgery. But in some cases, the doctor may suggest an overnight or longer stay if there are higher chances of post-surgery complications.
Yes. Pristyn Care doctors do provide online consultations before and after the treatment. However, for follow-ups, you may have to visit the nearby Pristyn Care clinic, as the doctor will have to monitor the recovery. For that, it is important that you are physically present.
Men often have a higher risk of developing inguinal hernia because the male testicle descends from the abdomen and then goes down in the groin region to reach the scrotum (the sac that holds the testicles). Normally, there is an opening from where the testicle descends and it closes shortly after birth. However, in some males, the opening doesn’t close creates a weak spot in the groin region and leads to an inguinal hernia.
No. The doctors usually recommend watchful waiting if the hernia is not that serious. During this period, you can take preventative measures to stop the hernia from progressing. If prevention doesn’t work, then ultimately surgery will be required to treat the hernia.
Inguinal hernia and femoral hernia can arise in both males and females. And in some cases, it is quite difficult to distinguish between them as they occur around the same region.
The key difference between femoral and inguinal hernia is the part from where the intestine bulges out. In the case of an inguinal hernia, the intestine enters the abdominal cavity through an opening in the inguinal canal. It is the passage that allows the spermatic cord and the testicle to descend. Normally, the inguinal canal closes after birth but in some cases, weak spots in the muscle wall are created that causes problems later in life. Inguinal hernias mostly occur in men due to this reason.
Femoral hernias are also found in the groin region but they arise due to different reasons. The femoral artery and vein pass through the femoral canal, which is an opening between the abdominal floor and the upper leg (thighs). If there is a weak spot in the femoral canal, the intestine may bulge out and cause problems. Femoral hernias are more common in women as they have a different bone structure around the pelvis region.
Both types of hernias have similar symptoms and have the potential to cause serious complications. Therefore, if you notice a bulge anywhere in your body, it is crucial that you get it checked and seek proper treatment.
A hernia is a condition that doesn’t go away on its own, and neither can be repaired without intervention.
In the best-case scenario, hernia treatment can be delayed if the bulge is not large and there are no other symptoms present. At this stage, the doctor will recommend that the patient manages the occasional pain with the help of a hernia belt or truss that will prevent the organ from entering the abdominal cavity.
This way, the patient can reduce the symptoms and also stop/delay the progression of the hernia. Ultimately, to ensure that inguinal hernia doesn’t lead to life-threatening complications, surgical repair will be required.
