The most common types of hernias are inguinal (inner groin), incisional, femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach). For pregnant women, umbilical hernias are especially common due to the extra pressure on the belly during pregnancy.
What's a Hernia?
A hernia happens when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue called fascia. They are caused by your muscles, tendons, or bones weakening during the aging process, or by excess stress or weight being placed on a part of your body.
