These
are the main reasons
why we fix hernias
in certain individuals:
|
| - |
Pain
or discomfort. |
| - |
Large
hernias which may be at a higher risk of complications.
|
| - |
Incarceration
(the contents of the hernia become trapped
inside the wall of the hernia). |
| - |
Strangulation
(the contents of the hernia lose their blood
supply due to prolonged incarceration). |
