Dear Martin A hernia is an opening or weakness within the wall of the muscle, tissue, or membrane that normally holds an organ in position. Even hiatal hernia will increase if there is excessive abdominal exercise. If the opening or weakness is big enough, some from the organ like stomach might be able to poke with the hole. Imagine an inner tube poking through a hole in an old tire - that is what a hernia is much like. |
