Main reasons for hernia formation (Reasons)
Weakness in Muscle Wall: The muscles of the body naturally have a certain strength. With age, due to surgeries, or due to congenital muscle weakness, small gaps may appear in this wall.
Excessive pressure: Activities that constantly put pressure on the abdominal wall cause hernia:
Lifting heavy objects: Lifting heavy objects without the correct technique puts a lot of pressure on the abdominal muscles.
Continuous cough: A long-term cough strains the abdominal muscles.
Chronic constipation: Excessive straining during bowel movements increases the pressure on the abdominal muscles.
Obesity: Excess fat in the abdomen puts pressure on the abdominal wall, weakening the muscles.
Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the expanding uterus puts pressure on the abdominal muscles. This can cause hernias in some women.
Genetic factors: Some families may have a genetic weakness in muscle structure, which increases the risk of hernias.
