Inguinal Hernia Treatment
An inguinal hernia occurs when soft tissue or a loop of intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall into the groin or scrotum. Dr. Majethiya Jalpesh provides specialized clinical examination and both laparoscopic (TEP/TAPP) and open Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repairs.
Prompt surgical repair is essential because an untreated hernia never heals on its own and continuously grows, with the dangerous risk of bowel loops becoming trapped (incarceration) or losing blood supply (strangulation).

Frequently Asked Questions
No. A hernia is a physical tear or defect in the abdominal muscle wall. Medications only relieve temporary acidity or pain; surgery with mesh reinforcement is the only medical cure.
Over time, the bulge increases in size and can trap a portion of the bowel (strangulation), cutting off blood supply. This is a severe surgical emergency requiring urgent intervention.
With modern laparoscopic techniques and localized nerve blocks, pain is very minimal and comfortably managed with routine mild oral painkillers for 2-3 days.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 50 minutes. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours and walk comfortably on the same day.
