Important Information For Those Who Suffer From An Abdomen Hernia
If you identify any of the abdominal hernias described, you should request the attention of a hernia surgeon as soon as possible.
All hernias of the abdomen grow over time and become large.
All hernias of the abdomen can have serious complications such as incarceration or strangulation.
The treatment of giant, incarcerated, or strangulated abdominal hernias is complex, can have high financial costs, and can end in dramatic situations.

Being treated in a timely manner by a hernia surgeon reduces the risks and economic costs of your treatment, as well as guaranteeing a better quality of life.

Leaving the surgical treatment of any abdominal hernia for later will prevent you from enjoying a healthy life or may have serious health consequences.
