There are several types of hernias. They are broadly divided into internal and external hernias. Internal hernias are not apparent on the outside and can be dangerous. They may occur from birth defects or after some bariatric procedures. As such, they will not be discussed any further here.
External hernias are far more common and vary in size and location. They may present at birth, in old age or any time in between. Both sexes are affected by this condition.Report this post
