Hernias are frequently associated with hard lifting in men, leading to the misconception that they are a masculine disease. However, some hernias, such as femoral and umbilical, are more frequent in women than in males.
Hernias do not go away by themselves. A hernia might become gigantic and uncomfortable over time, or it can develop bitter complications. A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through a gap in the muscle or tissue that keeps it in place.
Injuries in sports are a very common phenomenon. Whether it is a sprain, strain, or tear, athletes put their bodies through a lot of wear and tear. One common injury that is often overlooked is a sports hernia.
Swelling after inguinal hernia or umbilical hernia is very common. Most of the times, that doesn’t indicate a problem. Whenever there is an injury on any part of the body or if there’s been a surgery done, the area is filled with fluid that helps in healing process.
Hernias usually don’t go away or repair on their own. Surgery is the most advised solution to put back the internal organ in it’s place and in this process, the muscle and tissue is strengthened with stitches and/or by using a supporting material.
