Hernias 101: What are they, who's at risk and more

A hernia is a common medical condition that happens when part of an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak area of muscle, creating a bulge. It is caused by a combination of muscle weakness and straining, like lifting something heavy. Most hernias occur in the abdomen, between the chest and the hips, and they can develop in men, women and children.

How common are hernias? Who's at risk? and is surgery the only way to treat hernias?

Joining me today to talk more about hernias is Abhishek Parmar, MD, Dr. Parmar is assistant professor in the Division of Gastrointestinal Surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
