A member asked:
Boyfriend has 1mm hernia in lower right abdomen from appendectomy. can he do sit-ups/other ab exercises or will it make it worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No strenuous activit: An incisional hernia needs to be repaired. Strenuous activity and exercise can worsen the problem. It can cause bowel to protrude through the hernia defect and get stuck. This then converts the problem into an emergency. He needs to see his doctor/surgeon in order to get it repaired.
