A hernia is a protrusion of a tissue, structure, or part of an organ through the muscular tissue or the membrane by which it is normally contained. The hernia has 3 parts: the orifice through which it herniates, the hernial sac, and its contents.
A hernia may be likened to a failure in the sidewall of a pneumatic tire. The tire's inner tube behaves like the organ and the sidewall like the body cavity wall providing the restraint. A weakness in the sidewall allows a bulge to develop, which can become a split, allowing the inner tube to protrude, and leading to the eventual failure of the tire.
The ONLY way to stop a hernia getting worse is to repair the defect surgically. There are, however, several ways of doing this and the results vary widely.
If this is your situation, see a medical doctor as soon as you can.
Hope this helps
Good luck

a hernia is like a varicose vein of a particular region. If yours is near your navel, it's an umbilical hernia. There are all types of hernias. Some can be taken care of with certain types of activities, others need to be reduced surgically. Good luck

You will need to get it repaired or it will become a bigger problem down the road.
