A ventral hernia is more common than you think — and more serious than it appears. It occurs when tissues or organs push through a weakened area in the front of the abdominal wall. While it may start with a small bulge or discomfort, it can progress quickly and may need surgical treatment.
๐ง Types of Ventral Hernia
Depending on the location, ventral hernias are classified into:
๐น Epigastric Hernia: Between the chest and navel
๐น Umbilical Hernia: Around the belly button
๐น Spigelian Hernia: Along the side muscles of the lower abdomen
⚠️ Common Symptoms to Watch Out For
-
Noticeable bulge in the abdomen
-
Pain or discomfort, especially when moving or bending
-
Worsening pain while coughing, sneezing, or lifting
๐ซ Myth: Can Dieting Cure a Hernia?
Many people believe they can fix a hernia with exercise or diet. Unfortunately, this is not true. Hernias are structural weaknesses and require medical or surgical intervention for proper treatment.
