Other abdominal hernia - what does this mean

Other abdominal hernias are caused by a combination of factors, including increased pressure in the abdomen, weakness in the abdominal wall, and sometimes a congenital defect or injury. they are usually caused by a gradual weakening of the abdominal wall over time, which can be due to pregnancy, obesity, heavy lifting, or chronic coughing.

What happens during the disease - other abdominal hernia

Other abdominal hernia is a condition in which a portion of an organ or other structure protrudes through the abdominal wall. this is usually caused by a weakening of the abdominal wall due to increased pressure or strain, which can be caused by pregnancy, obesity, straining during bowel movements, or heavy lifting. in some cases, the hernia may be congenital, meaning it is present from birth. symptoms include a visible bulge in the abdomen, pain or discomfort when lifting or straining, and a feeling of pressure in the area of the hernia. treatment typically involves surgical repair of the weakened abdominal wall.
