A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue protrudes out through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It develops mostly in the abdomen area due to muscle weakening through which an organ or fatty tissue pushes out. The most common types of hernia are inguinal, incisional, femoral, umbilical, and hiatal.

1. HERNIA: COMMON TYPES AND CAUSES
A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue protrudes out through a weak spot in a
surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It develops mostly in the abdomen area due to muscle
weakening through which an organ or fatty tissue pushes out. The most common types of hernia
are inguinal, incisional, femoral, umbilical, and hiatal.

2. MAJOR CAUSES LEADING TO HERNIA
 One of the main cause is practicing unguided heavy lifting
exercises, that lead to excessive pressure in delicate internal
organs
 Chronic coughing and constipation
 Obesity and major abdominal injury
 Chronic lung disorders
 Week muscular strength due to lack of nutrition

3. TYPES OF HERNIA
 There are many types of hernias that develop in human body, out of
which the most common types of hernia are:
 Inguinal Hernia: It is the most common type of hernia that develops when
a part of the intestine abnormally projects through a gap into the
abdominal muscles. It cause severe pain and is often developed due to
bad posture or heavy lifting exercises.
 Umbilical Hernia: It occurs when some fatty tissue pushes within an area
near the belly, through a weak spot surrounding abdominal wall.
 Incisional Hernia: It develops from scar of previous surgery, through which
the hernia protrudes.

4.  Femoral Hernia: It mainly occurs near the groin or thigh region where a
section of tissue slides through the wall of the femoral canal, causing the
patient to develop femoral hernia.
 Interstitial hernia: Primarily spotted in the groin region, this type of hernia
develops when an organ shifts from its original muscle position. An
interstitial hernia is commonly spotted within the folds of the anterior
abdominal wall and is often hard to operate upon.
 Hiatus Hernia: Complex hernia type in which part of stomach bulges within
the diaphragm through the intermediate part of the chest.
