  What is laparoscopic surgery? – Listen to what a specialist of laparoscopic hernia surgery in Kolkata  has to say:   Laparoscopic surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes small cuts for the surgery. Then he/she will place a tube with a tiny camera in it and will insert the tube into the incisions. Surgical tools are also inserted from those cuts. Laparoscopic surgery is safe and it hardly leaves a scar. The surgery has a record of faster recovery than open surgery.   Femoral hernia:   A femoral hernia occurs when a little part of your bowel or fatty tissue pushes the groin of your inner thigh and hits a weak spot in the abdominal wall into the femoral canal. Many reasons can be the source of femoral hernia like, heavy lifting, childbirth, chronic coughing, being overweight, and chronic constipation. But the actual cause remains unknown in most cases. There might not be any symptom of the same. But if it’s a large hernia, a bulge can be noticed along w

  Bariatric surgery and blood pressure: I am a patient with blood pressure since my college days. The main reason behind my hypertension is heredity. Both my parents are working in high designation and their stressful corporate life is the reason behind their hypertension. Being their child, I inherited hypertension genetically and as a result, I used to get hyper about almost everything. Trivial issues made me very tensed and caused me a severe headache.    I started gaining weight. Soon I became very fat. But I had no idea behind my obesity. Yes, I must admit that I am a big foodie. I was tensed. I took my friend’s suggestion and started going to the gym. I also took the help of a dietitian and tried to maintain my food habit as per his advice. But it was of no use. My home physician had given me medicines to control my hypertension. I used to consume it regularly.    Nothing was helping me lose my extra weight. Then, my friend suggested me to visit a  laparoscopicsurgeon i

  I lost weight and now I have a small angel on my lap: I am a housewife. I mostly stay at my house and hardly have any work to do. My maid does everything for me. Previously, in this way, I had put on a lot of weight. My extra weight didn’t allow me to conceive. I was very worried. My husband and I researched and found a way. We went to a bariatricsurgeon in Kolkata . He performed all the physical examinations and suggested us that surgery would be the best option. He found out that my BMI was very high. Then he elaborately explained everything about the relation between high BMI and bariatric surgery. We were very much convinced. We decided to opt for the surgery. The doctor started the treatment and advised me to follow the diet chart given by him. I followed all the instructions given by him. As my BMI was 37, the surgeon based in Kolkata decided to perform intragastric balloon bariatric surgery on me. The surgery was successful. After that, I came back home. I noticed a change i

My newborn baby defeated hernia that he was born with: Nothing can be a better feeling for a woman than being a mother to her first child. I took him in my hands for the first time and I broke into tears of happiness. Everyone in my family was very happy. When my baby was 10 days old, he started to vomit without a reason. He was having fever also. We were tensed and took him to a child specialist. He gave medicines. But my son wasn’t fine even after consuming the medicines. I found a small bulge in his groin area and again we reached the doctor in no time. He said that my little one was born with an inguinal hernia and referred us to a hernia specialistdoctor in Kolkata . I was shattered. My husband took an appointment and we took our son to the concerned doctor. He gave us hope and assured us of our son’s fastest recovery but the treatment was to be done through an operation. I was not at all ready for the same but my husband made me believe and supported me enough so that I am conv
