Does lifting heavy weights cause Inguinal Hernia?

When a part of the intestine or other abdominal tissues protrudes through the weakness near the groin area it is referred to as an inguinal hernia. The hernia breach is exactly at the right or left inguinal canal. Sometimes there is a hernia on both the side of the abdomen.

An inguinal hernia is the most common hernia of all the hernia types present. It is estimated that it is 70% of all the hernia types. In that 70%, almost all of an inguinal hernia happens in men. 

There is a common misconception among people that weight lifting and lifting heavy objects can cause Inguinal Hernia. A hernia is the presence of a hole in your abdominal walls. When you perform strenuous activities like lifting heavy objects, more pressure is applied to the abdominal wall and abdominal tissues tend to protrude out. Hence heavy lifting does not cause Hernia, but it can aggravate the situation.
