Ventral Hernia

Ventral hernias are typically diagnosed by checking the abdomen for a noticeable bulge. Some physicians may conduct CT scans, ultrasound, blood tests, or urinalysis in addition to the physical examination. A ventral hernia’s symptoms are determined by its location in the abdomen and can include sharp pain that may be present during physical activity, vomiting (in the case of incisional hernias), and constipation.

 About Ventral Hernias

A ventral hernia occurs when a weak spot in the abdomen enables abdominal tissue or an organ (such as an intestine) to protrude through a cavity muscle area. These hernias are visibly identified by a bulge in the belly area. The most common locations for ventral hernias are the site of a previous abdominal procedure (an incisional hernia, the navel (an umbilical hernia, and the groin (an inguinal hernia).Ventral hernias can appear as a congenital defect at birth, or develop over a period of time resulting from factors such as pregnancy, abdominal surgery, or long-term stress on the abdominal muscles. Ventral hernias cannot heal on their own. Most commonly, ventral hernias are surgically repaired in order to avoid the risk of the intestine becoming strangulated (cut off from the body’s blood supply). Strangulation is considered a medical emergency.
