Novel Hernia Treatment for Guaranteed Relief

When an internal body part is pushed out through a weakness or tear in the surrounding tissue wall or muscle, ‘Hernia’ develops. It occurs when the contents of any internal body part bulge out of their original location. Usually, muscles of a human body are strong enough to hold adjacent organs in place; but if there are any weak spots, Hernia can certainly develop.

Why Does Hernia Occur?

Sometimes, muscle weakness may be present at birth but more often, it develops later in life. Any activity exerting an excess pressure on the abdomen can cause Hernia.

Pregnancy
Lifting heavy objects without stabilizing abdominal muscles
Diarrhea & chronic constipation
Strained urination & bowel movements
Chronic cough
Obesity
Poor nutrition
Previous surgery
Excessive smoking
Tips to Prevent Hernia

Regulate weight, if you are obese
Follow healthy, fibre-rich diet and regular exercise
Avoid lifting heavy loads
Avoid smoking
Treating Hernia

If you are suffering from Hernia which isn’t causing any problem while performing daily life activities, you may not need a surgical procedure to cure it. But, medication and physiotherapy may cure it effectively. However, if you experience extreme pain due to the Hernia bothering you during everyday’s activity, you might need a Hernia repair surgery. Hernia hardly heals by itself and usually grows larger. Thus, surgery is probably the ultimate treatment alternative to cure Hernia.

A Hernia repair surgery can be an open surgical procedure or a laparoscopic procedure.

Risks of Conventional Hernia Surgery

Bleeding
Breathing problems
Heart problems
Infection
Side reactions to medicines
Damage to blood vessels, nerves or organs
Damage to the testicles
Recurrence

Laser surgery for piles

Laser surgery for piles

Healing Hands Clinic has now introduced an innovative  Laser Treatment for Piles (Haemorrhoids) in Pune. Use of Laser Haemorrhoidoplasty Kit enables laser coagulation of haemorrhoidal nodes. The controlled emission of laser energy, which is applied submucosally, causes the haemorrhoidal mass to shrink.In addition, fibrotic reconstruction generates new connective tissue which ensures that the mucosa adheres to the underlying tissue. This also prevents the occurrence or recurrence of a prolapse. No foreign materials (clamps) need to be inserted and unlike other procedures, Laser surgey for piles is not associated with any risk of stenosis. Healing is excellent because, unlike conventional surgeries, there are no incisions or stitches. Access into the haemorrhoid is achieved by entering through a small perianal port.

By this approach no wounds are generated in the area. As a result, the patient experiences less post-operative pain and can return to normal activities within a shorter space of time.

1.No incisions
2.No Excisions
3.No Open wounds

Dr. Ashwin Porwal who Heads the Proctology Department of Poona Hospital, Apollo Jehangir Hospital & Inamdar Hospital has been the first Colorectal Surgeon to perform the latest  STARR Surgery for chronic constipation in the State of Maharashtra. He has performed more than 2500 Stapler Surgeries & cured more than 3000 patients with medical treatment (MCDPA).

With the introduction of Laser treatment Dr. Porwal quips HHC is extremely grateful to introduce this new technique to the patients suffering from Piles. With this we can guarantee quick relief.
