A hernia is a "protusion of part of an organ from its normal position within the body" Hernias invariably involve the digestive tract (stomach, intestines or bowel) or the groin. There are different types of hernia, with strangulated hernias being the most life-threatening. Hernias occur mostly in men, as a result of applying strain to the abdominal region, or through a weakness in the tissue, caused by an underlying factor, such as a past operation. Symptoms include pain developing in the affected area, and in some cases, a lump may be visible. There are several treatments for this very common condition. They are given, alongside more in-depth information on hernias themselves, in the accompanying link to an award-winning website, which is aptly named "hernia.org".

It can be congenital or acquired later in life due to weakness of the tissues in old age or from heavy lifting or strenuous exercise. It will require surgery to repair the hernia. There are various types of hernia and the medical terminology used will depend upon the site of hernia.
No. I've had my belly button pierced for eight years and never had a hernia. So I have a hard time believing that a belly button ring could cause a hernia. It can cause an infection but it can't cause a hernia.
No, the major complication of untreated hernia is not cancer.
