More About Hernias
Hernias are more common in males, but can affect women, too. It is caused by a strain on the abdominal wall caused by aging, genetic predisposition, heavy lifting, pregnancy, athletic activities, obesity, previous surgery, constipation, and chronic coughing.
Although some people do not experience symptoms, the most common indicators of a hernia can include nausea, pain, a bulge or obvious swelling in the abdominal area, or groin pain.
