A hernia is a bulge or a tear in a patient’s body that is caused as a result of the weakening of inside layers of abdominal muscle.

The patient must contact the surgeon immediately if he/she suffers from severe and continuous pain, redness, tenderness and if the bulge used to come and go earlier, but now is stuck out.
