Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hernia is a tear in your muscle or tissue that allows part of your insides to bulge out. It can be a bulge of an internal organ or your intestines. Sometimes you can see the hernia, depending on its location and size. Certain activities can worsen the condition, like bending over or lifting heavy objects.

Detailed explanation-2: -First, many hernias are asymptomatic, meaning they show no bulge and do not cause any pain. Therefore, patients may never know they exist. Other times, a hernia may be known, but for some reason or other, the patient ultimately decides not to have it repaired.

Detailed explanation-3: -Avoid heavy lifting when you can. Lifting puts stress on the groin. When you must lift, don’t bend over. Lift objects by using the legs, not the back. Eat high-fiber foods and drink plenty of water. Maintain a healthy body weight.
