A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak area in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It may appear as a bulge in the abdomen, groin or belly button and can cause discomfort, particularly during coughing, bending or lifting. Learn about the common types of hernia, their symptoms, available treatment options and warning signs that require urgent medical attention.
