Can masterbation make a hiatal hernia worse?

Masturbation: Yes it could. Please see a Urologist about your hernia.

No: it will do nothing to the hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia is part of the stomach poking through the diaphragm.

No: there should be no connection. Very rarely, reflux can get worse after a vigorous exercise, but I doubt that that would happen after masturbation. If your reflux remain severe despite trying antacids, see your doctor. Good luck.

It should not: Hiatal hernia is typically an internal hernia where a portion of the stomach is coming up through the hole where the esophagus (the tube that connects mouth to stomach) enters the abdomen. I would not think masturbation would aggravate this (unless it is very vigorous). A urologist would not be able to help with this but a gastroenterologist or general surgeon might (if it is severe).

No: Absolutely no association, so no worries.

I don't see how...: ...since they're not even remotely connected. I guess, however, anything's possible!

Not necessarily: Hiatal hernia or any type of hernias can become more pronoounced when there is increased intraabdominal pressure. Lifting, exercise or any sexual activities including masturbation can increase abdominal pressure.

No: Totally unrelated. Hiatal hernia needs treatment with medication or occasionally surgery, if ver severe. Good Luck

No: Simply put, no. Hope this helps.

NO: NO and it won't cause you to go blind. :)

Hiatal hernia: No. A hiatal hernia is a completely different entity than an abdominal wall hernia. Masturbation won't cause it to get worse.

Conceivably: An increase in the abdominal wall pressure such as bearing down can worsen a hiatal hernia. What symptoms are you having and how do you know you have a hiatal hernia?

No: One has nothing to do with the other. This should not make your hiatal hernia worse.
