Hernia Awareness Month, observed each June, helps educate the public about the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for hernias. Many people may delay seeking medical attention until complications arise due to not being aware they have one or not understanding that it can worsen. Hernia Awareness Month encourages early recognition and timely medical evaluation to prevent serious outcomes such as incarceration or strangulation. It also helps patients reduce anxieties or fears about surgery if they know their providers are using the latest available guidance.
For your convenience, we have a chronological rundown of the latest hernia guidelines.
