I was diagnosed with a 1cm hiatal hernia. i have been constipated and strained a little. how much is too much straining to make a hiatal hernia worst? ive been scared to use the bathroom in fear of straining?

Straining will not increase the size of a 1cm hiatal hernia but more likely cause the advent of another ,usually , superficial. Good Luck
