is a weakness or tear in the abdominal wall which allows the inner lining (peritoneum) of
the abdomen to push through and form a sac. The hernia sac may fill with intestine or
tissue which may then become incarcerated or obstructed causing a potentially serious
health risk.</p>
<p>Hernias can occur at birth (congenital) or overtime due to stress or strain on the
existing weakness or tear in abdomen. There are different types of hernias, but the
overwhelming majority occur in the abdominal wall at the groin, the navel or at the site
of imperfectly healed surgical incisions.</font></td>
<td width="345"><font FACE="Arial,Arial" SIZE="4"><b> <p></b></font><font FACE="Arial,Arial" SIZE="2">An easy way to envision a hernia is to think of an automobile
tire. When an abnormal opening occurs in a tire, the inner tube protrudes from the
opening. Similarly, a hernia protrudes through an abnormal opening.</p>
<p>DO I HAVE A HERNIA?</p>
<p>Hernias are usually easily recognized. You may feel pain when lifting heavy objects,
coughing, or straining during urination or bowel movements. You may also feel a bulge
under your skin in the areas described above. If these symptoms exist, contact your doctor
for further assistance or email Dr. Kuperschmit directly for an appointment and
consultation.</font></td>
