In certain people an abdominal hernia is something that they are born with – but for most of us it is something that will develop later in our lives due to certain things. In infants this condition is caused when the baby is still inside of the uterus and developing. Certain abdominal cavities and other weak areas are not able to develop properly.
When you are an adult you never think about having to deal with a hernia or that you may eventually have one – but it is always a possibility. If you believe that you might have an abdominal hernia you should first learn what causes it and determine if these apply to you.

An inguinal hernia – is also known as a groin hernia. This is a lump or mass that will develop from a protrusion of the small intestines or fatty tissue that will push its way into the area of the groin. It does this by pushing through any weak areas that exist in the abdominal wall due to old age, heavy straining, or prior surgical procedures.

I don’t think I’ve got a hernia because there is no bulge, but I was lifting the other day and I definitely felt like a pulled or popped an ab muscle. Are there any simple, do-it-yourself tests I can do to be sure I didn’t get a hernia? I’ve postponed my working out until I know for sure and I’m eager to get back to it… ~Andy
