6. Bulge Through a Scar
As we’ve seen, hernias are caused by weakened muscles and tissues that then allow organs to ‘push through’ and create unsightly and painful lumps.
This means that anything that causes the area to become weakened can actually cause the hernia to be more likely.
This means that any abdominal surgery – such as a cesarean – may cause a hernia in that spot. This is called incisional hernia.
