What is a hernia?
Question:
Answers:
I had a hernia when I was 10. It is a weakened area of the body that causes an outpouching of the muscle underneath. It usually looks like a weird bump. The area you are talking about may be a hiatal hernia. It can be fixed. The surgery is quick and you should be back to good in about a week.
A hernia is a rupture in the intestinal lining of the bodys' abdominal wall. It is a small tear in the thin membrane lining of the intestinal wall that separates the intestinal organs and the muscles of the abdomen. When this occurs the intestines can squeeze through the opening and gets pinched by the body's muscles, this causes a serious painful problem. The only way to cure is surgery to repair the tear.
