A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue wall, often appearing as a visible or painless bulge. It can happen in different parts of the body, most commonly in the abdomen or groin. While hernias often have no single clear cause, they are usually linked to increased abdominal pressure and weakened muscles. In some cases, they’re present from birth (congenital), while in others, they develop over time due to various activities or health conditions. Each type of hernia can have its own underlying reasons and symptoms. That’s why it’s important not to self-diagnose or ignore symptoms. A qualified doctor can perform a detailed evaluation to determine the type, severity, and best course of treatment — whether it’s monitoring, lifestyle changes, or surgical repair. Early medical attention can help prevent complications and offer long-term relief.
