5. Hernia
The most common type of hernia is an inguinal hernia which is a painful bulge often requiring surgery to repair. Some people choose not to have surgery if the pain is manageable. Complications arise when the hernia strangulates and cuts off blood flow.
An inguinal hernia is caused by a weakness in the abdomen wall and the intestinal or abdomen membrane protrudes through the weak area. Telltale signs that it’s a hernia include pain when coughing and straining and a dull ache.
