Influence of Obesity on Hernia – Both Before and After Hernia Surgery
Our abdomen houses many of our internal organs which are protected by a tough outer wall of tissue known as the abdominal wall. When this abdominal wall gets weakened or when it has a defect, fat tissue or organs like intestines can bulge out from its place through this defective wall. Some of the most common causes of hernias are defective inguinal canal (a common birth defect), the scar from previous abdominal surgery, and injuries caused due to any trauma. Can obesity influence hernia before and after the surgery?
