One common example is an abdominal hernia in which intestines push through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. While hernias are indeed most common in the abdomen, they can take place in other areas as well, such as the groin, upper thigh or belly button. They can develop quickly or over a period of time, with symptoms including a bulge in your abdomen or groin that gets larger when you stand, cough, or strain. You may also feel some pain or discomfort.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e1NHTfr8-Uk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Most hernias aren\u2019t immediately dangerous, but they will not go away on their own, and surgery is often needed to prevent complications.

In men, it involves the spermatic cord which passes from the abdomen to the scrotum and holds up the\u00a0testicles. In women, it involves ligaments that help hold the\u00a0uterus\u00a0in place. Surgery is typically recommended for these types of hernias to avoid complications such as strangulation, in which a loop of intestine becomes trapped (incarcerated) and\u00a0cuts off the blood\u00a0supply to the affected intestine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Umbilical<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0this type of hernia develops in the belly button area, and is most often seen in young children or babies. It can also occur in women who are pregnant, as well as people who are obese or overweight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hiatal<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0this refers to a hernia involving the diaphragm, which is the muscle that separates your abdomen from your chest.
