Where do you have pain?

Hiatal hernia

A hiatal hernia is an unusual protrusion of a part of the stomach through the diaphragm.

Umbilical hernia

The hernial orifice is often located near the navel, where the abdominal wall is generally thinner and more unstable.

Spieghel hernia

In Spieghel's hernia, the hernial orifice is located approximately halfway between the navel and groin.

Sports bar

The long-lasting pain in the groin area often occurs in athletes.

Rectus diastasis

The widening of the linea alba, a vertical suture of connective tissue, is called rectus diastasis.

Inguinal hernia

In inguinal hernias, the peritoneum and organs push through the inguinal canal, above the inguinal ligament.

Femoral hernia

In thigh hernias, the hernia sac occurs below the inguinal ligament.

Chronic groin pain

Long-lasting pain in the groin can have various causes.

The parastomal hernia

The hernia of this type is located near the stoma (artificial bowel outlet).

Incisional hernia

Scars, e.g. from operations, are weak points in the abdominal wall where hernias often occur.
