What Is An Epigastric Hernia?
An Epigastric hernia arises when abdominal contents protrude through weakened muscles in the upper abdomen. Often visible as a bulge between the breastbone and navel, it may cause discomfort but is typically benign. This condition occurs when the muscles in the upper abdomen fail to close properly, allowing abdominal tissue to push through. Although more common in adults, epigastric hernias can also manifest in infants.
While some epigastric hernias resolve spontaneously, particularly in infants, persistent or painful cases may necessitate surgical repair. If you suspect an epigastric hernia, seeking evaluation and guidance from a healthcare professional is advisable for appropriate management.
