Hernia

It is the projection of an organ out of its natural cavity. As a result of this, it moves to a place where it does not belong causing a protrusion (lump). The intestine is normally the organ that most normally projects out of its natural cavity, causing hernias. The most normal case is that in which it comes out through the navel orifice (umbilical hernia) or towards the scrotum (inguinal hernia).
