A member asked:
Can wearing abdominal support during exercising prevent recurrent abdominal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A hernia is a defect in the abdominal wall musculature (technically in the tough tissue overlying muscle). Some people are prone to developing hernias even after having repairs. However, it can help with comfort during exercise. Your best bet is to use proper lifting technique and develop strong core muscles. Don't give up exercise, it is good for your health in too many ways to list!
