The Hernia Reduction Lesson


You must be aware of what is an abdominal hernia.  Simply put in an abdominal hernia, the muscles of the abdomen becomes weak or they develop some defect from which usually the intestine (bowel) or the omentum (known collectively as the contents of a hernia) comes out and resides below the skin.

The omentum is a fat-laden curtain like organ present between the abdominal wall and the other organs in the abdomen.

Gently guiding the contents back into the abdomen is known as reduction of a hernia. Now an interesting thing occurs when you try to reduce a hernia.

If the hernia contains small bowel or intestines, the first part is difficult to reduce, i.e. push back inside the abdomen. But once the first part has gone in the last part goes in easily.

The opposite occurs when the content is omentum. The first part goes in easily but the last part is very difficult to push back inside the abdomen.

Similar things occur frequently in life in other situations also. If faced with a difficult problem, once the first part is resolved the later parts get solved or done easily. The opposite also occurs frequently. The first part gets tackled easily but the last parts need much time and effort.

So in life when faced with a problem if the problem initially appears easily solved do not get overly confident but keep some time and effort in reserve to use if there are difficulties at the end of the problem.

If faced with a problem which appears quite unsolvable at the beginning, then don’t lose hope. It is quite possible that once the initial part is deciphered the latter parts will fall in place on its own.
