A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or connective tissue that normally contains it. Hernias can occur in various parts of the body and can be caused by a combination of muscle weakness and strain. Symptoms Visible Bulge: Noticeable lump in the affected area, which may disappear when lying down. Pain or Discomfort: Especially when bending over, coughing, or lifting. Weakness or Pressure: In the affected area. Burning or Aching Sensation: At the site of the bulge. Symptoms of Hiatal Hernia: Heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. If you experience severe pain, nausea, vomiting, or if the hernia becomes red, purple, or dark, seek medical attention immediately as these could be signs of a strangulated hernia, which is a medical emergency.
