What are hernias?
1) When peritoneal sac and potentially peritoneal contents protrude through a weakness or defect in the muscle or fascia of the abdominal wall.
2) When the abdominal muscles become weak and cannot support the internal organs properly.
3) When the peritoneal sac becomes inflamed and causes pain in the abdomen.
4) When the abdominal wall becomes thickened and rigid, leading to difficulty in movement.
