The vast majority of hernias develop through a combination of bad luck, be it from a weakness that some individuals are born with, or by developing a weakness with the passage of time.
The following measures, however, may reduce the risk of developing some hernias and may reduce pain and discomfort in existing hernias:
maintaining a reasonable weight
avoiding heavy lifting
avoiding constipation by eating a healthy high-fibre diet
following a moderate exercise program to maintain good abdominal muscle tone.
