A member asked:

How hard of a hit to the stomach would make a hiatal hernia larger by pushing it further up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depending on how large the opening is in the diaphagm (the "hiatal hernia" opening) any abdominal pressure or compression of abdominal contents can enlarge the hernia. Get a referral to a general surgeon to determine whether remedial surgery may be necessary.
