hernia <\/a>describes a condition where a sac starts to form in the abdominal cavity. The sac may penetrate an area of the abdominal wall that\u2019s weak or compromised due to an injury. The fascia is the tough connective tissue that holds together the muscles and organs in the abdomen. When the fascia becomes compromised, it tears away from itself, allowing the hernia to penetrate the abdominal wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPatients who experience a hernia find that the condition begins after they overexert themselves. Lifting heavy objects may result in a tear of the fascia that leads to the onset of a hernia. There are various types of hernias affecting different regions of the abdomen. Hiatal hernias are the most common form of hernia that leads to the onset of paralytic ileus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a hiatal hernia, the patient experiences a herniation of the stomach lining, allowing the stomach to push up into the chest. This herniation may result in the onset of paralytic ileus in the affected individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
