A hernia is a medical condition which causes a
bulging of the muscles in the abdominal or the
groin area which may or may not be painful. In
some cases, this is accompanied by discomfort
and/or weakness. Hernias commonly occur in the
abdomen, groin, Bellybutton or a surgical
scar.

Hernia is normally easy to diagnose. In some
cases, the doctor might confirm the presence of a
Hernia by a mere look at it. A pain or heaviness
in the abdominal or groin area along with
weakness or burning sensation might be some early
signs of Hernia. It often appears as a bulge
protruding out in the groin area and may have a
tearing feeling

Causes Of Hernia

The reason men fall victim to Hernia is because
of the male anatomy. Hernias are found in the
small opening through which the Testicles are
formed during the Foetal development. If the
opening doesnt close by the time of birth, there
is a high risk of the formation of Hernia.  A
weakness in the abdominal wall followed by heavy
pressure seems like one of the biggest causes of
Hernia. The heavy pressure may be inflicted by
lifting heavy weights, persistent coughing or an
abdominal disorder such as diarrhoea or
constipation.

How It Is Diagnosed?

In almost 95 percent of the cases. The hernia
is diagnosed by a mere physical examination by
the Healthcare practitioner. The patient is asked
to stand or cough as it makes the Hernia more
prominent for diagnosis. An Ultra Sound or Xray
may be advised for confirmation.
