Hernia Treatment in Kolkata

Do you feel a stubborn bulge in your abdomen, pain while lifting, coughing, or even standing too long. Or a strange pressure that won’t relieve?

These could be signs of a hernia.

Whether you’ve just noticed a small lump or have been managing chronic discomfort, Dr. (Maj) Ranajoy Dutta, an experienced hernia surgeon in Kolkata, offers effective, tailored hernia treatment in Kolkata, backed by years of surgical excellence.

What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in muscle or fascia, often appearing as a visible lump. The most common types include inguinal (groin), umbilical (navel), incisional (post-surgical), and hiatal (upper stomach) hernias.

Although not always painful at first, hernia disease doesn’t cure on its own and may worsen over time, especially without medical intervention.

Hernia Treatment

Dr. Dutta offers both laparoscopic (keyhole) and open hernia surgeries, depending on the type and severity of the hernia. Laparoscopic repair is minimally invasive and ensures faster recovery. Open mesh repair provides a long-term cure, especially for larger or more complex hernias.

Dr. Ranajoy may also prescribe reconstructive hernia surgery for patients with recurrent or complicated cases. Every treatment is carefully planned to assure safety, long-lasting relief, and the best possible outcome.

If you notice any signs, book an appointment with Dr. Ranajoy Dutta, a trusted Hernia Doctor in Kolkata, for early diagnosis and expert laparoscopy care.

FAQS

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

How do I know if I have a hernia?

Look for a bump, discomfort while lifting, or pressure in the abdomen or groin. It often worsens with activity.

Are hernias dangerous if left untreated?

Yes. If left untreated, hernias can lead to complications like strangulation, where the blood supply is cut off to vital tissues and require emergency surgery.

Is hernia surgery the only treatment?

Yes. Surgery is the only permanent solution. Belts or supports may give temporary relief, but they would not fix the hernia.

Is laparoscopic hernia surgery safe?

Absolutely. It’s minimally invasive, with less pain and faster recovery for eligible patients.

What causes a hernia to form?

Heavy lifting, chronic coughing, obesity, or muscle weakness from surgery or childbirth can lead to hernias.
