Men are more likely to develop hernias than women. According to studies, even if a hernia that is present at birth — which is common in newborn babies — most of them are in male babies. The same is true throughout adult life! Men's greater risk can be explained through a hernia's connection to having undescended testicles. This is because a man’s testicles descend through the inguinal canal shortly before birth. A male's inguinal canal — which holds the chords that connect with the testicles — usually closes after birth. In some cases, though, it does not close properly, making hernias more likely. If you have a family member with a history of having hernia's, you are at a greater risk yourself. Some hereditary disorders affect connective tissues and muscles, and leave you vulnerable to hernia.  Keep in mind that this genetic likelihood only applies to hereditary defects.  In general, there's no known genetic pattern for hernias. If you have a history of hernias yourself, you're at higher risk of having another one in the future. Cystic fibrosis (a life-threatening lung condition) fills the lungs with thick mucus plugs.  Patients with this condition develop a chronic cough as the body attempts to clear away the mucus plugs.  This increased pressure from coughing is a risk factor of having hernias. This kind of cough puts so much pressure and force on your lungs that it damages the muscle walls. Patients feel pain and discomfort when coughing. Smokers are also at high risk for developing a chronic cough, and are also more likely to develop hernias. Constipation forces you to strain your abdominal muscles when moving your bowels. If you have weak abdominal muscles and are constantly forcing pressure against them, you're more likely to develop a hernia.  Weak muscles are caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, and old age. Straining when urinating can also put you at risk of having a hernia. Growing a baby in your uterus creates a lot of increased pressure inside your abdomen. You're also increasing your...
