Unspecified abdominal hernia without obstruction or gangrene - what does this mean
An unspecified abdominal hernia without obstruction or gangrene occurs when a portion of the intestine, fatty tissue, or other organs protrude through a weak area of the abdominal wall. this can be a result of increased pressure in the abdomen due to pregnancy, obesity, heavy lifting, or physical strain. symptoms may include a lump in the abdomen, pain or discomfort, and a feeling of fullness. in some cases, hernias may resolve on their own, while others may require surgical repair.
What happens during the disease - unspecified abdominal hernia without obstruction or gangrene
Unspecified abdominal hernia without obstruction or gangrene is a condition in which the abdominal wall weakens, allowing the abdominal organs to protrude through it. this weakening can be caused by a variety of factors, including aging, genetics, obesity, pregnancy, or trauma to the abdominal wall. the weakened abdominal wall is unable to contain the organs, resulting in a hernia. if left untreated, the hernia can become larger and more uncomfortable, though it does not typically cause any other symptoms.
