Hello, a hernia is when a small part of human tissue or organ re-enters its original position and moves into another area through gaps, scars, or weak points in the body. It is also known as "small intestine" and includes types such as umbilical hernia, inguinal direct hernia, inguinal indirect hernia, incisional hernia, surgical incisional hernia, linea alba hernia, and femoral hernia. Hernias are often caused by reasons such as coughing, shivering, excessive exertion, abdominal obesity, strained bowel movements, early pregnancy in women, excessive crying in children, and degenerative changes in the abdominal wall strength in the elderly. Surgical treatment is generally the preferred method for improvement and recovery!
