A member asked:

Why does my abdomen hurt when i sneeze?

Dr. Ihor Zakaluzny answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Possible hernia: Although most often, abdominal pain with sneezing is related to muscle irritation, people with abdominal wall hernias may have pain when they sneeze as the increased intra- abdominal pressure generated by the forceful contraction of the abdominal wall muscles will put more tension on the hernias.
