Hernia, The Silent Bulge you should not ignore - Dr. Swetabh Suman

Dr. Swetabh Suman, Consultant – General & Laparoscopic Surgeon, Desun Hospital, Siliguri, explains what a hernia is and how to identify its early signs. In this informative session, he highlights that a common symptom of hernia is a visible swelling or bulge in the body that may reduce on its own or cause discomfort. He explains that hernias can be congenital or develop over time, and commonly occur in areas like the groin (inguinal region), near the navel (umbilical), or at the site of a previous surgery. Dr. Suman emphasizes that not all swellings are hernias, but any unusual bulge in these areas should not be ignored. He advises timely consultation with a surgeon, where simple tests like an ultrasound can help confirm the diagnosis and assess its severity. He further shares that with advancements like laparoscopic surgery, hernia treatment today is safer, minimally invasive, and ensures faster recovery with fewer complications. At Desun Hospital, Siliguri, we are committed to providing advanced surgical care for better patient outcomes.
