What is hernia?

A hernia is a medical condition in which an internal organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot or tear in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. This can cause pain, discomfort, and a visible lump or bulge under the skin. Hernias can occur in various parts of the body, such as the abdomen, groin, diaphragm, or even the upper part of the stomach (hiatal hernia). They often require surgical repair to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
