Hernias occur when one part of the body protrudes through a gap or opening into
another part. And although a hernia can theoretically develop almost anywhere,
most are in the abdominal area. The hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm -- the
muscular wall separating the chest cavity from the abdomen. Normally, the
esophagus (food pipe) goes through the hiatus and attaches to the stomach. In a
hiatal hernia (also called hiatus hernia) the stomach bulges up into the chest
through that opening. Most small hiatal hernias don't cause any problems, and
you may never know you have a hiatal hernia unless your doctor discovers it when
checking for another condition. But a large hiatal hernia can allow food and
acid to back up into your esophagus, leading to heartburn and chest pain.
Self-care measures or medications can usually alleviate these symptoms, although
very large hiatal hernias sometimes need surgical repair.
There are two main types of hiatal hernias: sliding and paraesophageal (next to
the esophagus). In a sliding hiatal hernia, the stomach and the section of the
esophagus that joins the stomach slide up into the chest through the hiatus.
This is the more common type of hernia.
The paraesophageal hernia is less common, but is more cause for concern. The
esophagus and stomach stay in their normal locations, but part of the stomach
squeezes through the hiatus, landing it next to the esophagus. Although you can
have this type of hernia without any symptoms, the danger is that the stomach
can become "strangled," or have its blood supply shut off.
What causes Hiatal Hernias :
A lot of the time, the cause of the Hiatal Hernia is not known. Some people
develop a hiatal hernia after sustaining an injury to that area of the body;
others are born with a weakness or an especially large hiatus. Some experts
suspect that increased pressure in the abdomen from coughing, straining during
bowel movements, pregnancy and delivery, or substantial weight gain may
contribute to the development of a hiatal hernia.
What are the symptoms of a Hiatal Hernia?
In rare cases, the part of your stomach that protrudes into your chest cavity
may become twisted (strangulated) or have its blood supply cut off, leading to:
* Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
* Severe chest pain
* Obstruction of your esophagus
