A hernia is a condition in which part of an internal organ or tissue begins to bulge out of a weak spot or muscle. For most patients, a hernia is likely to develop in the abdomen. Heavy lifting or straining are usually what causes hernias to form.
Because most hernias are relatively small, patients do not usually notice them. Likewise, surgery isn’t always necessary. When a hernia begins to grow and causes you discomfort, contact Dr. Cernero to perform your hernia surgery in Denison.
