Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is a hernia?

    A hernia is a tear in the fascia-the thin but strong tissue overlying the muscles – allowing the intestines to bulge through the abdominal wall under the skin, or in the case of a Hiatal hernia, allow the stomach to move partially into the chest.

  2. What causes hernias?

    All hernias can be caused by forceful pressure on the area. Abdominal wall and groin hernias can develop during pregnancy, or as a consequence of heavy lifting at the job or at the gym. Obesity and chronic cough are contributing factors as are constipation and enlarged prostrate causing difficult defecation and urinating.
