Surgery: A hernia is a tear in the fascia of the abdominal wall. With a hernia there is a bulge in the abdominal wall that the intestines are poking in to. This bulge is usually reducible, and is different from having belly fat. A general surgeon can tell if you have a hernia and what type it is. Most hernias, if they are big enough to require repair, need to be fixed surgically.
