Don't Let a Hernia Get in the Way of Your Life. Get the Right Treatment and Regain Your Confidence.

Don't overlook a bulge around your abdomen or groin, as it may be a sign of a hernia. Although a hernia may not cause pain in its early stages, leaving it untreated without proper medical assessment may lead to potentially serious complications.

Pattaya Memorial Hospital is ready to care for you with our Hernia Surgery Service, supported by a medical team that provides clinical assessment, diagnosis, and personalised treatment planning based on each patient's individual condition, helping you return to your daily activities with confidence.

Our  Package includes a 2-night hospital stay, allowing our medical team to monitor your recovery and provide post-operative care.

What Is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weakened area of the abdominal muscles or abdominal wall, causing a noticeable bulge around the abdomen, groin, or other affected areas.

Hernias can occur in both men and women, with inguinal hernias (groin hernias) being among the most common types. The bulge may become more noticeable or increase in size when coughing, sneezing, lifting heavy objects, or straining.

Warning Signs of a Hernia You Should Not Ignore

• A visible bulge around the groin, belly button, or abdomen.
• The bulge becomes more noticeable when standing, coughing, sneezing, or straining.
• Pain, tightness, or a dragging sensation around the affected area.
• Discomfort when lifting heavy objects or exercising.
• The bulge gradually increases in size or can no longer be pushed back into the abdomen.

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a doctor for proper assessment and an appropriate treatment plan.

Important Warning: If the bulge becomes severely painful, tender, or hard, cannot be pushed back, or is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or abdominal bloating, seek immediate medical attention. These may be signs of an incarcerated or strangulated hernia, which require urgent treatment.

What Causes a Hernia?

A hernia generally develops due to weakness in the abdominal muscles or abdominal wall, combined with increased pressure inside the abdomen. Factors that may increase the risk include:

• Frequently lifting heavy objects or straining.
• Chronic coughing.
• Constipation and frequent straining during bowel movements.
• Being overweight or obese.
• Pregnancy.
• Age-related weakening of the abdominal muscles.
• A previous abdominal surgery.

Why Is Hernia Treatment Important?

Most hernias do not resolve on their own and may gradually increase in size over time. Surgery is a primary treatment option for many types of hernias, particularly for patients experiencing symptoms or at risk of complications.

If left untreated, a hernia may become incarcerated, meaning the protruding tissue or organ becomes trapped and cannot return to its normal position. In more serious cases, the blood supply to the trapped tissue may become compromised, resulting in a strangulated hernia. This is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment.

Surgical Treatment for Hernias

Your doctor will assess the type, location, size, and severity of the hernia to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Common surgical options include:

• Open Hernia Repair: A surgical incision is made near the affected area to reposition the protruding tissue or organ and repair the weakened abdominal wall. A medical mesh may be used to reinforce the area and provide additional support when clinically appropriate.
• Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: A minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a small camera and specialised instruments inserted through several small incisions to repair the hernia. The suitability of this approach depends on the type of hernia and the patient's individual condition.
