I recently heard that women can also get hernia, but I always thought it mostly affected men. I want to understand what causes hernia in women, what factors increase the risk, and whether it is something to worry about.

Hernia in women can occur due to weakness in the abdominal muscles combined with increased pressure inside the abdomen.
Common causes include:
-
Pregnancy and childbirth
-
Chronic coughing
-
Heavy lifting
-
Obesity
-
Previous abdominal surgery
Early diagnosis helps prevent complications. Any noticeable swelling or discomfort should be evaluated by a doctor.
