The moment I realize I got a hernia there are two different types of injuries referred to as hernas and you should know the difference an inguinal hernia is what most people think of when they hear the term hernia it’s a gap in the abdominal wall that allows the inside contents like the intestines to bulge outwards and this often requires

Surgery to fix a sports hernia on the other hand really isn’t a hernia at all it describes more of a chronic pain that lasts weeks to months there’s no bulging of the abdomen or groin region but usually there’s pain around the hip cras or pelvic region these are commonly seen

With athletes who have groin pain when cutting twisting or lifting heavy weights some people think they have a sports arnia as it will mimic other forms of groin pain such as a strain adduct or longest muscle that will be painful with this strength test as well Sports hernas however can sometimes be

Painful with sit-ups or with coughing either way it’s probably a good idea to get checked out by a medical professional

  1. Bro I hurt my knee doing that exercise lol soo I’ll never be doing that again and I wasn’t even going heavy

  2. I’ve been there….but all I did was cough. Nightmare zone every time allergy season comes around now.

  3. I think i had sport one before i don't know some times it was my balls has cramp and feel that only happens for me like a month or later on

  4. so let's say i had surgery for a hernia (they put a net in there) 2 years ago and am now starting to hit the gym. Is there anything people with such a medical history should avoid? Asking for a friend.

  5. I was doing situps in my room one day when I got a hurnia just to the left of my belly button. Felt the bulge and pushed it back inside. It didn't hurt bad but I've had no issues since. it was years ago and I've been scared to do situps since. Does anyone know if they have to have surgery every time or if it can resolve itself?

  6. I reckon if I fix my anterior pelvic tilt and do reverse kegels my hernia will heal. I think it’s to do with my tight pelvic floor (19 male)

  7. I’m currently recovering from a strain (thank god not a hernia, no bulge). I was doing the same exercise but holding a kettle bell on the opposite side of the leg being worked. Stupid move. I felt a pop, then a burn. It’s been around 2 months and I’m much better. About 70% recovered. Pro tip: Hold the weight in the center of your body or over the leg being worked.

  8. What if you feel some pain in an area when you lift weight but there is nothing popping out?

  9. I had a inguinal hernia that was occasionally causing gas pains in my lower abdomen. Ignored it for years until my intestines bulged through into my ballsack. Extremely painful, would not recommend. Surgery fixed it up, but every so often when doing high-intensity core exercises like dragon flags I can still feel it slightly years later.

  10. I got an inguinal hernia in middle school and trust me. You do not want a doctor poking real deep into your Nutsack.

  11. Holy crap, i had a sports hernia when I was a freshman in college. Docs said my abdomen didnt tear so i was just wondering what the heck was wrong until it healed on its own

  12. I have pain in that area and i went to thousand places and they still dont know what it is. They thought it was hernia, then i did MRI and when i got it, it literally showed nothing like everything is good and surgeon told me to go to physio or ortho( where i already went mutlitple times). Also prior to MRI i did ultra sound many time and nothing helped. I still dont know whats wrong and can't play football
