A hernia occurs when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained.

These contents, usually portions of intestine or abdominal fatty tissue, are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the cavity.

Although the term hernia can be used for bulges in other areas, it most often is used to describe hernias of the lower torso (abdominal-wall hernias).

Hernias by themselves may be asymptomatic (produce no symptoms),

but nearly all have a potential risk of having their blood supply cut off (becoming strangulated).
