I am 19 years old and I have inguinal hernia. I waated on right side at age of 14 and left side just a week ago. Now again I got inguinal hernia on right. May I know the reason for it?

Hi, The most important reason for repeated inguinal hernia is weak abdominal wall. And if you are performing abdominal strengthening exercises or lifting weights then it increases abdominal pressure and causes hernia. If you have chronic cough or constipation then that can also cause hernia and recurrence of hernia.
