A member asked:
What type of movements can cause an inguinal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nonspecific : While there are no specific activities that cause a hernia, coughing seems to be more common than others. Most hernia patients do not note any causative event. Hernias are most likely a result of genetics for most people. Hope this helps!
