What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal structure pushes out through a weakness or defect in the abdominal wall.

 

Abdominal hernias can occur anywhere between the rib cage and the groin but the most common sites are around the groin or navel.

 

How do you know if you have a hernia?

Do you have a ‘lump’?

Is it in a common place such as the groin or around the belly button?

Is it around the site of a previous operation or scar?

Does it come out if you cough sneeze or exert yourself?

Does it get bigger towards the end of the day?

Does it go down when you lie down or can you push it in yourself?
