Hernia is a common medical condition which presents as a localized bulge due to an organ pushing through an opening in the muscle or tissue. This normally occurs in the abdomen, but can also occur in upper thigh, belly area and groin areas. This occurs when there is a weakness or a hole in the muscular wall that packs or keeps the abdominal organs. Hernias are easy to diagnose. They are usually not a life threatening condition, but do not resolve on their own and require surgery to avoid potential complications. There are different types of hernia and certain types are more prone at a particular age.
