I alway wear supporter while doing bodybuilding , then why i got hernia?

Didn'tWearPreventer: Unfortunately, there is nothing you can wear to prevent a hernia. Most hernias develop due to "birth defects" or a hereditary weakness in one's tissues. Heavy lifting may accelerate the development of a hernia;, wearing a supporter will not offset this risk.
