What is Hernia?
When an organ pushes itself beyond the sac or flimsy muscles that holds it, it is termed as #Hernia. Hernia can happen in any regions of the body like abdomen, brain, spine, etc.The most common is the Hernia of the abdominal area where the intestine breaks through the abdominal wall. In a male it is in the groin and in the female it is mostly after surgery in the abdomen. To simply put, Hernia is the displacement of the organ beyond its borders.
To understand practically if your shirt is torn and your inner wear protrudes out thats Hernia!!!
