In 5% patients’ hernia can recur after hernia surgery.
There are many reasons for hernia recurrence such as untreated constipation, cough, enlarged prostrate, diabetes etc, infection after surgery not immediately treated or patient has not taken adequate precautions. Our hernia specialist Dr Nitish Jhawar uses laparoscopic hernia repair with use of mesh in treatment of recurrent hernia.
Visit your doctor to take treatment for cold-cough. Avoid oily, sour and chilled food items. While coughing or sneezing, placing a pillow over your incision provide some support and may ease the pain when you cough or sneeze.
Office desk job can be resumed in 3-5 days but strenuous activity or sports which will cause stress on the incision site are to be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Driving, long distance travelling is to be avoided for at least 7 days following surgery.
Generally, people can resume cardio work-out, running, jogging, biking, swimming and hiking after 2 -3 weeks of laparoscopic surgery.

If we do not treat hernia, it tends to become large and there is a risk of complications.
Initial reducible hernia (swelling appears only on standing or on coughing but on lying in supine position or on pressing with hand it disappear) may become Irreducible hernia (Hernia swelling doesn’t reduce on lying down or on pressing with hand) which in turn may lead to obstructed hernia (obstruction to passage of food) and Strangulated Hernia (blockage of blood supply of intestine). Patient gets severe pain & vomiting and if not treated urgently with emergency surgery, It can be a life threatening condition.
Surgery cannot be prevented by using truss. With use of truss muscles become weaker and operation becomes difficult & complicated. But truss can be used to postpone surgery for limited days such as in patient of heart attack, where operation has to be postponed for few months.
Except umbilical hernia in children below 2 years of age where it may heal spontaneously, Surgery is only cure for Hernia. Medicine does not help in hernia treatment. Hernia Specialist surgeons usually recommend different types of hernia repair.
Yes. Children can have hernias since birth. Usually umbilical hernia heals spontaneously by 2 years of age.

Many people visit the Hernia specialist doctor for pain in the groin.
Many patients will sustain an injury to their lower abdomen or upper thigh as a result of their exercise routine or some heavy work. Patients with a groin strain will often have pain at night, which is rare in a hernia patient.
What patient says about Dr. Nitish Jhawar
I was diagnosed with gall stones a year ago in Delhi, I showed it to a doctor at Max hospital, he just asked me to get a surgery done and get my gall removed on any date of my choice, I was sacred and too young to get it done I got a vibe from doctor that for him it’s just a small things, however according to for a patient it’s important first be convinced on the urgency to get it done and feel safe . A year later I shifted to Mumbai and started having a frequent pain in shoulder blades and gall area. It went sharp this time. We went to Dr Nitish , as oppose to Delhi doc, Dr Nitish was very polite, first asked us to get the scan done and understand the current scenario, the scan showed one big 17 mm stone which was earlier also there but this time also there were multiple various sized stones as well along with the big one. Dr Nitish examined the scan, explained me and my husband about the condition and need of surgery or else the stone Would have slipped in the panacea or bile calling for a bigger operation. He explained diagramatically . He was patient in explaining, gave us time to think and be convinced. We were ready and then he performed it . It was flawless, quick and went well. He is a very experienced and fine surgeon , he is caring and doesn’t create panic at all rather he takes it slowly and makes patient comfortable. It was lapro, it’s been 2 months I m writing this . I faced no issues till now. Apollo staff was also very caring and good. I would mention Apollo Hospital, Navi Mumbai in specific. Good follow up diet makes it normal. I would strongly recommend Dr Nitish. He knows his job perfectly. He is not money minded at all. He would recommend surgery only if it’s required.

I was suffering from piles since long time. For bleeding heavily I met Dr Nitish Jhawar and after meeting him decided to go for Stapler surgery for piles. I found him a doctor who listens to our problem and explains properly.
I got diagnosed about a year back but was avoiding operation for Hernia repair, Dr Nitish Jhawar explained me why surgery should be done and I chose surgery by laparoscopy method. I am happy with the doctor and the hospital.
