Are there risk factors for a hernia?

At the Ascension Via Christi Hernia Center in Wichita, Kansas, surgeons specialize in minimally invasive hernia repair for a faster recovery.

Hernia risk factors include the following:

  • Obesity
  • Lung disease
  • Smoking
  • Malnutrition
  • Having a history of injury or surgery

There are other risks, but these are some of the most common. Many people with no risk factors can and do develop hernias.
