A member asked:
Can a car accident cause a hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, depending: On force of impact and location of injury. Most likely, though, a weakened area was present before the accident, and the impact was the final straw. Every case is different, so ask your surgeon for a definite opinion.
