What do you think, could helping someone move make it very obvious if i have a hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Lifting heavy weight while already having a hernia may increase the hernia size. Even though larger hernias have less chance of incarceration, they may be more uncomfortable and eventually harder to repair.
