Can losing weight help shrink an adult umbilical hernia?
I actually have a umbilical hernia at the moment. It hurts and is pushing out. Unfortunately I don't have insurance so I'm probably going to end up going into the emergency room. Wish we had free health care like Canada. You can't heal the hernia with exercise. A hernia is basically a tear in the abdominal muscle. The large intestine usually pushes at the weak spots of your stomach and if you do lots of sit ups and you have a weak spot it can actually cause you to get a hernia from the pressure. Now if you have a bulge the size of a grape or bigger surgery is going to be mandatory. If you don't get surgery you may end up causing the intestine to strangle itself and can even cause death. Exercise like sit-ups are great if you don't have an existing hernia because it strengthens your abdominal muscles and that can help you prevent a hernia.
