An abdominal wall hernia is an opening or area of weakness in the abdominal wall through which abdominal matter can sometimes protrude and form a bulge. Such drawing out of matter from an abdominal cavity can consist of fatty lining, a part of the stomach or intestines from the body.
Causes of Abdominal wall hernia:
Abdominal wall hernia can occur due to injury, chronic coughing, heavy weightlifting, constipation, excessive body fat, pregnancy, smoking, and aging. All of these factors can cause strain as well as create pressure on the muscle joints of the abdominal region.
