Hi,
Hernia develops due to muscle weakness. Other reasons that increases the risk of hernia may be a previous C-section procedure followed by coughing, heavy weight lifting or any straining that leads to hernia. It should be operated as early as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
