Prevention/Prevention
Both the groin pain in general and the hernia can be prevented. It is important to take care of the muscles and strengthen them with sports and specific exercises. A normal weight should be aimed for, since overweight has a strong negative effect and overstrains the abdominal muscles, which can lead to a hernia.
This also includes a healthy diet, which significantly contributes to reducing the risk of a hernia, as it prevents overweight and constipation as risk factors for a hernia. It is also important to maintain a correct posture, both when carrying heavy objects and in everyday life. The joints are stabilized by sitting and walking upright and are protected by proper footwear. Physiotherapists and doctors can also help to (re)establish the correct posture through courses etc.
