What Is a Hernia Scan?
A hernia scan is a non-invasive ultrasound examination used to detect and assess hernias in the abdomen or groin.
It helps identify:
Inguinal (groin) hernias
Umbilical (belly button) hernias
Femoral hernias
Incisional hernias (after surgery)
Ultrasound imaging allows us to see how tissues and organs are moving, making it especially useful for diagnosing hernias that may not always be visible.
