Hernias generally share the same general characteristic: a weakness or gap in the muscle layer that can allow tissue normally contained by the muscles to push through. Depending on the type and severity, hernias can be a mild irritation or a life-threatening condition requiring emergency surgery. Our guide will help you identify a hernia, whether it could be dangerous and when to contact a physician, as well as provide you with more information about specific types of hernias.
