Hernia is a physical abnormality caused by many factors, such as weak peritoneum, weak abdominal muscles, accidents or surgery, and unconsciously unhygienic daily behaviors, such as severe coughing or sneezing, lifting heavy objects, straining to pass stool during bowel movements, etc.

There is a lump protruding from inside the body in the abdominal area.

If there is no lump, vomiting, gas, and constipation may occur.

There is pain, aching, tightness in the stomach.

Types of Hernias

There are several types of hernias that can occur in different areas of the body. The most common types include:

• Inguinal Hernia: This occurs when a portion of the intestine or abdominal tissue protrudes through the inguinal canal in the groin area. It is more common in men than women.
• Femoral Hernia: Similar to an inguinal hernia, a femoral hernia also occurs in the groin area but is more common in women. It happens when a loop of intestine protrudes through the femoral canal.
• Incisional Hernia: This type of hernia develops at the site of a previous surgical incision. It can occur due to weak scar tissue, especially if the incision was large or did not heal properly.
• Umbilical Hernia: Umbilical hernias are common in infants but can also affect adults. They happen when the intestine or fatty tissue protrudes through a weakness near the navel.
• Hiatal Hernia: Unlike the previous types, hiatal hernias occur in the upper part of the stomach. They develop when a portion of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity.

Symptoms of Hernias

Hernias can present various symptoms, including:

• A visible or palpable bulge or lump in the affected area
• Pain or discomfort, especially when lifting heavy objects or straining
• Burning or aching sensation at the site of the hernia
• Nausea, vomiting, or difficulty with bowel movements in some cases
