Causes of hernia
Hernias occur when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. Various factors can contribute to the development of hernias, including:
Physical Strain: Heavy lifting, straining during bowel movements, or persistent coughing can increase abdominal pressure and lead to hernias.
Age: Muscles weaken as we age, making older adults more susceptible to hernias.
Congenital Conditions: Some people are born with weaker abdominal muscles, predisposing them to hernias.
Pregnancy: The increased pressure on the abdomen during pregnancy can cause hernias.
Obesity: Excessive body weight increases the strain on abdominal muscles.
Previous Surgery: Incisions from abdominal surgeries may weaken the abdominal wall, creating potential hernia sites.
Smoking: It can lead to weakening of the connective tissue, increasing the risk of hernias.
