Hernia: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hernia?

A hernia refers to a bulge that appears in an area where the muscle or tissue has weakened. The type of hernia will depend on the location, but may include inguinal hernias, femoral hernias, umbilical hernias, incisional hernias, and epigastric hernias.

What are symptoms of a hernia?

 Chevron Icon

A bulge in the affected area, usually in the abdominal wall, is the main symptom of a hernia. However, hernias do not always cause noticeable symptoms. Some people may experience pain or discomfort when coughing or straining. In severe cases, a hernia can cause vomiting, constipation, and shooting pain – this is a medical emergency.

What causes hernias?

 Chevron Icon

The cause of a hernia can depend on the type, but typically they develop when something puts pressure on the organ in an area where the muscle wall or tissue has weakened. Possible risk factors for hernias include lifting heavy objects, straining, overusing the muscle, overweight, and tobacco use.

What is a inguinal hernia?

 Chevron Icon

An inguinal hernia is the most common type of hernia. It occurs when tissue from the abdomen protrudes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall. It typically contains fat or part of the small intestine.
