Yes: Hernias happen when you have a weakness in the abdominal wall and you can have a bulging of the lining of the abdomen or even intestines. This can occur after an incision like a C-section or appendix repair, or at areas of potential weakness like the belly button or in the groin area.

Yes: Hernias, or holes in the abdominal wall though which abdominal contents can protrude, can be present without having surgery. In fact, almost all pregnant women get a hernia at the belly button, but this usually does not cause problems, or need to be repaired. Consider repair if enlarging or painful. Hope this helps!

Yes: Abdominal wall hernias are often found in association with a surgical incision. However, abdominal wall hernias can occur without prior surgery.
