⭐ What Is a Hernia?
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. This bulge may appear in the abdomen or groin area and can cause pain, discomfort, or pressure—especially during coughing, lifting, or standing.
Common Symptoms of Hernia
- Visible or noticeable bulge
- Pain or discomfort while lifting or straining
- Burning or aching sensation at the hernia site
- Heaviness in the abdomen
- Increased swelling by evening
- Difficulty during physical work
Important: Hernias do not heal on their own. Surgery is the only permanent treatment.
⭐ Types of Hernias Treated by Dr. Md. Abdur Rahim
Dr. Rahim provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for all types of abdominal and groin hernias, including:
1. Inguinal Hernia
Occurs in the groin area. Most common in men.
2. Umbilical Hernia
Appears near the navel due to weakness in the abdominal wall.
3. Incisional Hernia
Forms at the site of a previous surgical incision.
4. Ventral Hernia
Occurs in the abdominal wall.

Part of the stomach pushes into the chest cavity (requires specialized treatment).
