Abdominal hernia is generated through a weak area in the abdominal wall, often in a scar from a previous procedure, but it may also occur near the navel or in other more rare areas of the abdominal wall.

The peritoneum is pushing its way out through the weak area which allows the small bowel or other abdominal parts to become stuck here. This may cause potentially severe problems that could require emergency surgery.

Abdominal hernia will not get better in time, and it will never go away on its own. Surgery is the preferred kind of treatment against hernia.
