June is Hernia Awareness Month

A hernia is a common medical condition that can affect people of all ages, yet many individuals delay seeking care because they are unaware of the signs and symptoms.

Common symptoms may include:
✔️ A visible bulge in the abdomen or groin
✔️ Discomfort or pain when lifting, coughing, or bending
✔️ A feeling of pressure, weakness, or heaviness in the affected area

Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve quality of life. If you notice symptoms or have concerns, talk with your healthcare provider.

In the month of May each year, we mark National Mental Health Awareness Month to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma around mental illness, and encourage people to seek support and care.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Let’s create a culture where conversations about mental health are met with understanding, compassion, and action.
