A member asked:
Can a child get a hernia from doing sit ups or push ups?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Hernias occur frequently, more often in males. Hernias can form at birth. Exercises and activities may make a hernia condition more noticeable with swelling or discomfort, but exercise itself does not likely cause a hernia to form.
