I have a small inguinal hernia. 30x10mm with 7.5mm hernia whole. For many years i didn't accept it so i wasn't doing any physical activity at all. Lately i became stronger mentally and i accepted the thing that if it got worse i go to repair it. So I started gym and it's been 1 year from 57kg i became 70kg and im in fit shape. Who cares about how it becomes, i live in the present. When I'll have any problems i go to the hospital. I feel a bit of tension with core exercise, so i avoid reverse crunch especially. Normal crunches using the diaphragm technique is fine.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@josipkesina5696]

Thank you very much. Short and to the point. I have a hernia to the left of my belly button. I have no pain while lifting weights. I wear a stretchy band about 20 cm high while exercising. I don’t do anything crazy and have no desire to look like a body builder. I just want to be healthy.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Best wishes to you

[@kakaroth80]

@ExercisesForHealth thanks for this video. But… Can you make one about the exercises that we can do? I want a muscular body, I don’t want to be slim, dry or fat. I want to keep a sporty life style and have a good muscular shape. What efforts I can do to maintain a slim stomach (only diet?) and large shoulders, arms, chest, legs. Thank you 👍🏻😊

[@ExerciseForHealth]

You should be able to do most exercises, however, some carry more risk than others as shown in this video.

[@faisalazeem4978]

Can we do legs workout after 6 months of hernia surgery? Inguinal hernia mesh repair.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

It might be OK, but everyone will be different so check with your doctor.

[@stevenp7991]

If someone has a mesh surgery to repair double inguinal hernias can he return eventually to high level exercises related to core such as advanced yoga and calisthenics? My intuition tells me that the mesh will interfere with forward folds and hip flexor contractions

[@ExerciseForHealth]

This question is probably suitable for the surgeon, but from experience, I have known some people return to competitive sports a while after such surgery.

[@jantodd-hr1xe]

I exercise in water. What do you suggest for this type of exercise. I have a hiatal hernia to be repaired laparoscopically soon.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

If you have a hiatus hernia, that's a bit different to what is in this video. I've done a video on this though here which might help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bme0oYSrbptjobc. I'm not sure what considerations there would be for swimming. Water exercises such as an aqua class where your body is upright should be fine. It will be if you swim on your back that you may experience some issues. Hope this helps.

[@UwU-ic6]

Please do give some excercise for herbia diagnosed people until surgery is done

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I'm not sure what this means but most exercises can still be done, but some need caution. Take a look at this video for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXikYp6fqZumpLs

[@abhisheksinha3704]

Like my Doctor says I may develop hernia, he says to do one leg raises and cycle on back. These are not even exercises.

[@akashmitachakraborty8589]

Can we do weighted exercises like strength training?

[@christopherstephens7944]

I (26, male) had an ultrasound scan around my groin regarding something else and the doctor noted I might have a risk of developing an inguinal hernia on my left side and told me not to do any kind of stomach curls - and to do plank instead. I've been able to find limited information on how to proceed if you're prone to developing a hernia. With time without straining activity would my situation then better, or do I just need to accept not doing any of the exercises you deem "high risk" indefinitely? Best regards!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I would avoid the higher risk exercises and find alternatives where possible.

[@bobp5523]

If you have no pain, why limit your activity? Severely restricting your activity to guard against the possibility of developing a hernia (which may never develop) seems overly cautious to me. Case in point : I was diagnosed 40 years ago with a small inguinal hernia on my right side and laxity (weakness) on my left side. I do not limit my exercise activity but always concentrate on proper form and body position. Over the decades my left hernia area occasionally bothers me but the right side hardly ever does. When I go through a several day bout of discomfort, I am more careful about activity until the discomfort subsides. So try to understand your body and what works for you. Then adjust your activities based on that.

[@akshayambre6500]

I am also in the same situation,I really wanted to avoid the hernia situation .Not sure which exercise will help to prevent.

[@bobp5523]

@@akshayambre6500 I would only avoid those activities that cause you pain. Go slowly and figure out what your body tolerates and what it doesn't. And if you do have some pain, I have found that when I occasionally have hernia related pain that doing a simple pelvic floor exercise helps me. Lie on your back on the floor with your feet flat on the floor (your legs bent). Then using your lower abs muscles, try to "press" or "draw" them down to the floor. It's a pretty subtle movement. You are flexing your pelvic floor down toward the ground.
