HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR EPIGASTRIC HERNIA

An epigastric hernia   occurs when fat pushes through a weak part of the belly wall. It occurs in the middle of the belly between the breastbone and the belly button, or navel. Most of the time, these hernias are small. You can have more than one at a time.

Epigastric hernias often have no symptoms. But they can cause pain in  the upper belly.

An epigastric hernia is usually present at birth, and may heal without treatment as the infant grows and the abdominal muscles  strengthen. An epigastric hernia is similar to a umbilical hernia  except the umbilical hernia forms around the belly button and the epigastric hernia is usually between the belly button and the chest.

An epigastric hernia is typically small enough that only the peritoneum, or the lining of the abdominal cavity, pushes through the muscle wall . In severe cases, portions of an organ may move through the hole in the muscle.

Epigastric hernias are typically present at birth and may seem to appear and disappear, which is referred to as a "reducible" hernia. The hernia may not be noticeable unless the patient is crying, pushing to have a bowel movement, or another activity that creates abdominal pressure. The visibility of a hernia makes it easily diagnosable, often requiring no testing outside of a physical examination by a physician.

An epigastric hernia will not heal by itself and does require surgery to be repaired. However, unless the hernia threatens to become an emergency, surgery can be postponed until the child is older. Toddlers tend to tolerate surgery better than newborns, so it may be beneficial to wait before surgery is performed.

·        

·         Hiatal hernia occurs in the upper part of the stomach. Part of the upper stomach pushes into the chest.

·         Incisional hernia can occur through a scar if you have had abdominal surgery in the past.

·         Umbilical hernia is a bulge around the belly button. It occurs when the muscle around the belly button does not close completely after birth.

·         Inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin. It is more common in men. It may go all the way down into the scrotum.

There are usually no symptoms. Some people have discomfort or pain. The discomfort may be worse when standing, straining, or lifting heavy objects. In time, the most common complaint is a bump that is sore and growing.
