A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or tissue out of the body cavity in which it normally lies. By far, the most common hernias develop in the abdomen, when a weakness in the abdominal wall evolves into a localized "defect", through which the protrusion occurs. These may present either with pain at the site, a visible or palpable lump, or in some cases with more vague symptoms resulting from "pressure" on an organ which has become "stuck" in the hernia. Most hernias can be surgically repaired and recovery rarely requires long-term changes in lifestyle.
