A hernia is caused by trapping of tissue between torn muscle and skin causing a pouch. They are most commonly located at the umbilicus (belly button area), inguinal area, perineal (next to the rectum), or in the diaphragm (the muscle between the chest and the abdomen) although they can occur anywhere there is muscle. They can be congenital (born with it) or traumatic (caused by trauma). All hernias are repaired by replacing the tissue back where it belongs and closing the hole in the muscle.
