4. Epigastric hernia
   An epigastric hernia is one that happens in the epigastric area of the abdomen, which is
   situated over the belly button and beneath the ribcage.
   If an epigastric hernia occurs in your body, you might have the option to feel it when
   there is pressure on the abdominal wall, for example, when you cough, laugh, or weigh
   down to have a bowel movement. You will also experience pain or tenderness around
   where the hernia is located.

5. Femoral hernia
   A femoral hernia happens when tissue pushes through a weak point in the crotch or
   inward thigh. The hernia may feel like a little to medium-sized bulge in the crotch.
   An expected 2 to 4 percent of all hernias that happen in the crotch are femoral ones.
   Women experience femoral hernias more regularly than men.
   A femoral hernia can be a reason for worry because of the femoral artery and vein
   being close by. It’s conceivable the hernia could influence these veins and block the
   bloodstream to and from the leg. Due to this, doctors quite often attempt to address a
   femoral hernia with a surgical procedure.

6. Hiatal hernia
   A hiatal hernia is a condition that happens when an individual’s stomach swells through a frail
   point in the diaphragm, a muscle that isolates the lungs from the abdominal organs.
   If you have a hiatal hernia, you’re bound to have issues with acid reflux.
   A few people are born with a hiatal hernia, while others form one as they age.
   Hiatal hernias are distinguished into types — from type I to IV — relying upon where they are
   found.
   An expected 95 percent of hiatal hernias are type I: With these hernias, the stomach stays in
   position, yet the area where the throat meets the stomach slides over the diaphragm.

7. Incisional hernia
   An incisional hernia can happen after an individual has stomach surgery, which normally
   includes a cut down the center of the stomach. If the surgical incisions don’t heal
   properly, that individual can be more vulnerable to building up a hernia.
   A few surgeons may utilize the term “ventral hernia” and “incisional hernia” conversely.
   A ventral hernia alludes to any hernia type that happens along the midline of the
   stomach. In any case, not all ventral hernias are incisional hernias.

8. Inguinal hernia
   An inguinal hernia happens when a segment of the intestine system or fat lumps through the
   lower abdominal wall. The bulge generally experiences the inguinal channel, which is situated in
   the crotch area.
   An inguinal hernia can contain a segment of the small intestine in certain individuals and even
   parts of the female reproductive organs in certain women.
   According to the Southlake General Surgery, Texas, inguinal hernias mainly happen on the right
   side. They’re additionally substantially more common in men: An expected 27 percent of men
   and just 3 percent of women will build up an inguinal hernia during their life.
   Occasionally it’s hard to differentiate between a femoral and inguinal hernia. In men, an inguinal
   hernia can cause a lump in the crotch, yet additionally in the scrotum.

10. Treatment for hernias at Southlake General
    Surgery, Texas.
    Hernias can be risky since they can get strangulated or incarcerated.
    An incarcerated hernia happens when bulging tissue can’t be pushed once again into the right spot, putting steady
    weight or uneasiness on an individual’s body.
    A strangulated hernia is a medical emergency condition since the area protruding through loses blood supply.
    Hernias don’t normally disappear all alone, and if they advance to a strangulated hernia, it is a medical emergency.
    Thus, a few doctors will suggest surgery as a remedy for an observable hernia to attempt to shield it from
    deteriorating or causing a medical emergency.
    Else, they may prescribe viewing the hernia to ensure it can generally fit back through the abdominal wall.
    If an individual has a known hernia and builds up the accompanying symptoms, they should look for immediate
    medical attention.
