Who should attend?
Consider if you have any of these symptoms:
- Swelling, pain or a bulge in your belly or groin
- Pain when bending over, coughing or lifting
- Weakness or pressure in your abdomen after pregnancy or surgery
- Acid reflux, chest pain or difficulty swallowing
These are common symptoms of a hernia, which frequently affects athletes (like runners and weight lifters) and people who do physical work (such as manual labor and construction). If left untreated, hernias can present life-threatening complications
