I actually have a umbilical hernia at the moment. It hurts and is pushing out. Unfortunately I don't have insurance so I'm probably going to end up going into the emergency room. Wish we had free health care like Canada. You can't heal the hernia with exercise. A hernia is basically a tear in the abdominal muscle. The large intestine usually pushes at the weak spots of your stomach and if you do lots of sit ups and you have a weak spot it can actually cause you to get a hernia from the pressure. Now if you have a bulge the size of a grape or bigger surgery is going to be mandatory. If you don't get surgery you may end up causing the intestine to strangle itself and can even cause death. Exercise like sit-ups are great if you don't have an existing hernia because it strengthens your abdominal muscles and that can help you prevent a hernia.

Any number of possible factors may be responsible for a hernia to develop. It may be the result of a weakness in the abdominal tissue, from a past operation, for instance.

The chances of having one are more likely as we age, and those who are overweight, or pregnant, should be more cautious of getting a hernia, too.you can get a hernia by lifting heavy things for a few years or maybe months


Does ones breast gets heavier after losing their virginity?

No, this is a myth. The size and shape of the breasts can be affected by pregnancy, but they are also affected by your weight, the diet you eat, your over-all health, and your genes. There is no evidence that losing one's virginity immediately affects the size of the breasts. That said, if you lost your virginity and got pregnant, that will affect your breasts.
