Hernia

Hernia

A hernia is a medical condition in which an organ or tissue pushes through the wall of the muscle or tissue that normally contains it. Hernias are most common in the abdomen, specifically the groin area, but can also occur in other parts of the body, such as the upper thigh, belly button, and lower chest. In the abdomen, hernias can occur in three different areas: the inguinal canal, the femoral canal, and the umbilicus. Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia, accounting for approximately 70% of all hernia cases. Hernias occur when a weak spot or tear in the abdominal wall tissue allows an organ or tissue to protrude through the hole. Hernias can be caused by a variety of factors, including physical strain, lifting heavy objects, persistent coughing and sneezing, obesity, straining during bowel movements, and even pregnancy. The primary symptom of a hernia is a bulge or lump in the affected area. This lump may increase in size or become more noticeable when the person stands or strains. Other symptoms may include pain or discomfort in the affected area, a heavy feeling, or a pulling sensation.
