Abstract

Abstract Background: Hernias are repeatedly encountered in surgical clinics owing to risks such as constipation, weightlifting, gestation, weight gain, and ongoing ailments similar to bronchial asthma and prostatic enlargement. The study intended to examine various viewpoints of the population’s knowledge and beliefs concerning hernia and its management. Methods: Individuals in this cross-sectional study were randomly picked from those at greater risk of acquiring abdominal wall hernias (AWHs). To report their awareness levels toward AWH, the data were calculated as frequency, expressed as a percentage, and displayed as tables and figures. Results: Eighty-six percent of the patients did not have a hernia during the study, but all had experienced hernias before the study date. About 36.9% of participants showed a poor level of knowledge regarding AWHs. Participants’ knowledge was notably correlated with gender, age, marital status, previous abdominal surgery, presence of interfamilial hernias, and having asthma or chronic cough (P < 0.05). According to 55% of respondents, pain and discomfort after an operation are the most prevalent complications, while 15.1% reported no postoperative complications. According to 41.4% of respondents, laparoscopic surgery was the best treatment option, followed by open surgery and lifestyle modifications in 28% and 24.8%, respectively. Conclusion: Compared to females, males were more likely to suffer from AWHs. Hernia’s risk factors, management methods, and surgical complications were not well understood by participants. This may entail holding seminars to raise awareness of AWHs among the community members.
