A member asked:

Please tell me can excessive masturbation cause hernia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ed Friedlander answered

No: The things that precipitate hernias are due to increase intraperitoneal pressure -- straining, severe shortness of breath, constipation. Much of the risk is hereditary.
