Events › Under Pressure: What You Should Know About Hernias

A strange bulge? Discomfort when lifting? Wondering what actually causes a hernia?

Hernia repairs are among the most common surgeries performed worldwide – and chances are, you or someone you know will deal with one at some point.

Join a General Surgery Physician Assistant from Overlake Medical Center for an eye-opening discussion on:

• What hernias really are
• Why they happen
• When they need repair
• What surgical treatment looks like

We’ll cover anatomy (in plain English), treatment options and what recovery really looks like.

Come learn what’s normal, what’s not and when to seek care.

Caution: Not for the faint of heart – we’ll talk surgery!
