A ventral hernia occurs in the front of the
abdominal wall, usually in the midline. A ventral
hernia typically results from a tear or division
in the muscles or fascia. A subtype of the
ventral hernia is the epigastric hernia. A
ventral hernia is usually composed of fat and
rarely contains abdominal organs. A ventral
hernia can develop as a result of an increase in
intra-abdominal pressure from lifting or
straining. A ventral hernia can be asymptomatic
(meaning there are no obvious symptoms), however,
it is also known to cause pain with straining. If
a ventral hernia is not treated, it may increase
in size and may become strangulated or
incarcerated.
