Hello and greetings
Hernia happens because of weak fibromuscular wall or defect which can be due to multiple pregnancies or abdominal surgeries. It is aggravated by coughing, lifting heavy objects, constipation, strenuous work or any chronic illness.
Surgery is the best option to treat hernia and you should get it treated because it can cause serious complications if left untreated. .
Avoid constipation, or any other risk factors mentioned above.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
