The United States has by far the largest correctional system in the world. It is so large, in fact, so sprawling and dispersed, so administratively complex that just how many people are incarcerated is uncertain. The most commonly cited statistic is that are about 2.3 million inmates on any given day.
Most often, a lump in the abdomen is caused by a hernia. An abdominal hernia occurs when there is a weak spot in the abdominal wall. This allows the internal organs to bulge through the muscles of the abdomen. A hernia may appear after you strain, or lift something heavy, or after a long period of coughing. Inguinal hernia appears as a bulge in the groin or scrotum.
The most common causes for hernias are: ï· muscle weakness due to weight gain and aging ï· muscle strain from heavy lifting or pregnancy ï· injury ï· scar from a previous abdominal surgery Some hernias do not cause any symptoms.very surgery has risks and complications but people with a high BMI have much higher risks for complications after hernia repair surgery, including: ï· A higher risk for the hernia to recur after surgical repair. This may require a second surgery. ï· Higher rates of infection and poor wound healing.
