2019-09-16 08:50:57 ABDOMINAL HERNIA
Symptoms
Most people can feel a bulge where an inguinal hernia develops in the groin.
There may be a burning or sharp pain sensation in the area because of inflammation of the inguinal nerve or a full feeling in the groin with activity.
If a hernia occurs because of an event like lifting a heavy weight, a sharp or tearing pain may be felt.
However, many people don't have any complaint other than a feeling of fullness in the area of the inguinal canal. Open / Comment

Causes
A hernia may be congenital or may develop over time in areas of weakness within the abdominal wall.
Increasing the pressure within the abdominal cavity can cause stress at the weak points and allow parts of the abdominal cavity to protrude or herniate.
Increasing pressure within the abdomen may occur in a variety of situations including chronic cough, increasing fluid within the abdominal cavity (ascites) , peritoneal dialysis ,and tumors or masses in the abdomen.
The pressure may increase due to lifting excess weight, straining to have a bowel movement or urinate, or from from trauma to the abdomen.
Pregnancy , previous surgical operations , or excess abdominal weight and girth are also factors that can lead to a hernia. Open / Comment

2019-09-13 13:37:12 ABDOMINAL HERNIA
Description :
An abdominal hernia occurs when an organ or other piece of tissue protrudes through a weakening in one of the muscle walls that enclose the abdominal cavity.
The sac that bulges through the weak area may contain a piece of intestine or fatty lining of the colon (momentum) if the hernia occurs in the abdominal wall or groin .
If the hernia occurs through the diaphragm, part of the stomach may be involved.

The abdominal wall is made up of layers of different muscles and tissues.
Weak spots may develop in these layers to allow contents of abdominal cavity to protrude or herniate.
Most common abdominal hernias are in the groin(inguinal hernias), in the diaphragm(hiatal hernias), and in the belly button(umbilicus).
Hernias may be present at birth (congenital), or they may develop at any time thereafter (acquired). Open / Comment
