What types of hernia does R.K. Hospital treat?
We treat all types of hernias including inguinal (groin), umbilical (belly button), incisional (post-surgery), and hiatal hernias. Both laparoscopic and open repair options are available.
Is hernia surgery painful?
Laparoscopic hernia repair involves very small incisions and typically causes less pain than open surgery. Most patients experience mild discomfort that is well-controlled with pain medication.
How long after hernia surgery can I return to work?
For desk jobs, most patients return within 1-2 weeks after laparoscopic surgery. For physically demanding work, 4-6 weeks rest is recommended. Dr. Kanungo will advise based on your specific case.

Part of the hernia symptoms, repair and recovery guide
From this question to a practical consultation
Use this guide to prepare the history for a discussion about hernia symptoms, repair and recovery. Record when the concern began, what has changed and how it affects daily activities. Bring reports and prescriptions already available; you can ask which further tests would help before arranging more investigations.
At the visit, ask what the clinician thinks is most likely and which findings support that view. If the diagnosis remains uncertain, ask how it will be clarified and which changes should prompt earlier assessment. A clear next step is more useful than collecting several possible labels from online searches.
Before leaving, confirm the purpose of each prescribed treatment, the follow-up date and who will communicate results. Keep that plan with your symptom record so a review can compare progress. Tell the clinician if the plan is difficult to follow because of work, costs, side effects or care responsibilities.

The sequence explains planned care. Urgent symptoms require prompt assessment and may change this pathway.
The assessment before a treatment decision
The first step is a clinical examination. Ultrasound or another scan may help if the diagnosis is uncertain; having a scan before a visit is not always necessary. The surgeon also reviews cough, constipation, urinary straining, diabetes, smoking and medicines before discussing an operation.

How can I prepare for an assessment of these symptoms?
Bring a symptom timeline, relevant reports, current prescriptions and your main questions. Ask how the diagnosis will be assessed, whether further tests are needed, what follow-up is planned and which changes require earlier care.
