Overview
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak area in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Hernias commonly develop in the abdomen or groin and may cause discomfort, pain, or a visible bulge. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent complications and ensure a quicker recovery.

- Visible bulge in the abdomen or groin
- Pain or discomfort while lifting, coughing, or bending
- Feeling of heaviness or pressure in the affected area
- Burning or aching sensation around the bulge
- Weakness or discomfort during physical activity
