Are hernias bad?
Yes. Hernias can be very painful and can cause obstructions that are serious and life-threatening. A hernia is a protrusion of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. If it protrudes through a weak place in the muscles and then the opening closes off or gets tight or traps the protrusion, the tissue can become constricted and lose its blood flow, which can result in tissue death. An example is an umbilical hernia where bowel is pushing out of the abdominal cavity from the weakness in the muscle at the hernia site, then a loop of bowel can get caught and close off the intestines and create a bowel obstruction. Common locations of hernias are umbilical as mentioned above, any part of the abdomen (called a ventral hernia), and both sides of the inguinal area (loin area). Hernias can also commonly occur at incision sites from previous surgery.
