Hernia
The hernia is defined as the emergence of a piece of the inner tissue of the intestine through the wall of the abdominal cavity outside the ventral wall to become subcutaneous. It is the most common of all surgical problems. It occurs as a result of a weakness in the abdominal wall. Infection is defined by self-examination and in some cases diagnosed by ultrasound. Ventricular hernia is spread among different age groups, but affects men more likely to develop abdominal hernia than women.

Symptoms associated with abdominal hernia are:
- Swelling in the hernia or abnormal filling is the most common symptom. In the case of hernias, we may notice swelling on both sides of the pubic bone.

Causes of hernia
The causes of abdominal hernias include obesity and weight bearing, which results in increased pressure within the abdominal cavity. In addition to chronic cough and constipation, in addition to pregnancy, abdominal hernia is treated by open surgery or by laparoscopy. Laparoscopic technology uses small private cameras. Laparoscopic surgery is the least harmful to tissues, but not all abdominal hernias can be treated by the endoscopy. It can also be treated using a Truss belt. In some cases, an emergency surgery is performed because the intestine is blocked inside the herniated sac, leading to an intestinal obstruction.
There are some preventive measures that we can take to avoid abdominal anomalies. These include maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding stress during defecation, avoiding lifting heavy weights, and finally eating a healthy diet full of natural fibers to avoid constipation.
