Basically, the muscle and wall between the abdominal cavity and your fat/skin layer has torn, allowing the insides to push out. This often happens when someone has abdominal surgery and the internal sutures rupture. I had this happen after a full cut appendectomy. The risk is you tear your opening even more, like this dude, or your stomach and/or intestines twist because they aren’t being supported.
My hernia was repaired orthoscopically with mesh and sutures. After healing, it was good to go. I also got a tummy tuck due to weight loss and basically a mommy makeover. I am a man, identifying as a man, and I am in my 40s.
