Ventral hernia can be intensely painful. It can be caused by daily activities such as coughing, sneezing, putting pressure during bowel movements or clearing the throat. In most cases, they require surgery to be repaired because they grow and worsen if left untreated. It can even cause the strangulation of a section of the intestine.
Ages affected: It can occur in people between 20-50 years of age.
