A member asked:
Can there be something that can be done for a hernia, before it happens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: If your asking whether or not you should limit activity to avoid developing a hernia, the answer is no. Hernias can develop in sedentary individuals, and many active individuals never get a hernia.
