What is a hernia? The abdomen consists of various layers of strong tissues that help with movement and protect our internal organs. A hernia is a gap in this muscular wall that allows contents inside the abdomen to protrude outward. There are different types of hernias, but the most common hernias often occur in the belly or groin.
