An inguinal hernia occurs when soft tissue, usually part of the intestine, pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles near the groin. It is the most common type of hernia and is more frequently seen in men, though it can affect women too. The condition may appear as a visible bulge in the groin area and can cause discomfort, especially when bending, coughing, or lifting.
While small, asymptomatic hernias may be monitored, most cases require surgical repair to prevent serious complications such as bowel obstruction or strangulation. At Pristyn Care, our surgeons in Delhi perform laparoscopic hernia repair - a minimally invasive technique that involves small incisions, reduced post-operative discomfort, and a quicker return to daily activities compared to open surgery.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 45-90 minutes. A surgical mesh is placed to reinforce the weakened abdominal wall, significantly lowering the chance of recurrence. Most patients are discharged the same day or within 24 hours and can resume light activities within a week.

Diagnosis
If a patient presents with groin pain or a visible bulge, the doctor begins with a thorough physical examination. The patient may be asked to stand and cough, which makes the hernia more prominent and easier to assess.
In cases where the diagnosis is unclear, the following investigations may be recommended:
Early diagnosis is important to prevent complications. If you notice a persistent bulge or groin discomfort, consult a specialist promptly for an accurate evaluation and timely treatment plan.

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.

Still haven’t found the solution?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.
If you have been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia and want to resolve the condition effectively, you can contact the best hernia surgeons in Delhi by calling Pristyn Care.

Usually, most patients, as well as doctors, prefer using the laparoscopic technique for inguinal hernia repair as it is a minimally invasive procedure with faster recovery, fewer risks, and several other benefits.

Whether the surgeon uses the open or laparoscopic technique to treat an inguinal hernia, the recovery starts right after surgery when you are sent back to your room after the procedure. Immediately after the procedure, you might feel a little bit tired and dizzy due to the after-effects of anesthesia. The effects will go away after some time and you will feel better.
Usually, you will be discharged on the same day and once you reach home, follow the tips below for a quick and smooth recovery-
Visit the doctor if you have a high fever, persistent pain, swelling around the wound, or if you haven’t had bowel movements for 3 days.
It is important to understand that congenital inguinal hernia cannot be prevented. But if there are no congenital defects in the body, it is possible to reduce the chances of developing an inguinal hernia. Follow the tips below –

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.

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.
