Thank you very much. Short and to the point. I have a hernia to the left of my belly button. I have no pain while lifting weights. I wear a stretchy band about 20 cm high while exercising. I don’t do anything crazy and have no desire to look like a body builder. I just want to be healthy.
I'm not sure what this means but most exercises can still be done, but some need caution. Take a look at this video for more info: ua-cam.com/video/WGA1kit6snY/v-deo.html
Thank you for the information. I have a large ventral hernia, enlarged uterus with fibroids and simple right renal cyst. I have being trying to lose weight. Sometimes the exercise and diet and then the weight return rapidly. Which exercise can I do in my conditions. I have to lose the weight before the hernia can be repaired the doctor say. I weigh 318lbs.
Hi Richard, Very helpful and informative.- Thanks🙂👍 I’ve just had (last week) - a right sided open inguinal hernia surgery repair. I have a concept 2 rowing ergo-metre. In 2/3 months time I wonder whether a gentler return to the rower might then be possible? Alternatively, would have you got any views on raking up gentle Pilates ( with a supervising therapist) in a few months time? Thanks, Dave
@deepayanchandradas8071 Hi, thanks for the question. My current situation is the surgical site seems stable but noticeable burning & discomfort some days especially when I'm doing too many squats as I have a physical job. My surgeon said it was one of the worst tears he'd seen.
If you have a hiatus hernia, that's a bit different to what is in this video. I've done a video on this though here which might help you: ua-cam.com/video/86QpQu960kU/v-deo.html. I'm not sure what considerations there would be for swimming. Water exercises such as an aqua class where your body is upright should be fine. It will be if you swim on your back that you may experience some issues. Hope this helps.
Can you do things like chin-ups dips and curls. Also can you do squats with just body weight. Is this possible before having surgery. Hope to hear from you and thank you
I (26, male) had an ultrasound scan around my groin regarding something else and the doctor noted I might have a risk of developing an inguinal hernia on my left side and told me not to do any kind of stomach curls - and to do plank instead. I've been able to find limited information on how to proceed if you're prone to developing a hernia. With time without straining activity would my situation then better, or do I just need to accept not doing any of the exercises you deem "high risk" indefinitely? Best regards!
If you have no pain, why limit your activity? Severely restricting your activity to guard against the possibility of developing a hernia (which may never develop) seems overly cautious to me. Case in point : I was diagnosed 40 years ago with a small inguinal hernia on my right side and laxity (weakness) on my left side. I do not limit my exercise activity but always concentrate on proper form and body position. Over the decades my left hernia area occasionally bothers me but the right side hardly ever does. When I go through a several day bout of discomfort, I am more careful about activity until the discomfort subsides. So try to understand your body and what works for you. Then adjust your activities based on that.
@@akshayambre6500 I would only avoid those activities that cause you pain. Go slowly and figure out what your body tolerates and what it doesn't. And if you do have some pain, I have found that when I occasionally have hernia related pain that doing a simple pelvic floor exercise helps me. Lie on your back on the floor with your feet flat on the floor (your legs bent). Then using your lower abs muscles, try to "press" or "draw" them down to the floor. It's a pretty subtle movement. You are flexing your pelvic floor down toward the ground.
Hey mate, I currently have an inguinal hernia which doesn't give me any bother day to day. Just wondering if cycling is an ok general exercise to do? I really miss it but I'm concerned I may make it worse. I'm avoiding surgery as I'm pain free for now...had the hernia for 6 years if that helps. Great videos, thanks for the advice.
Hi i had a jejunum resection and anastomosis in aug 23. I'm just trying to follow a diet n start exercises to strengthen myself and reduce belly fat and weight overall what are the exercises I can do? But I want to avoid hernia too. I'm 42 yrs height 147 , weight 62 kgs
I have a double groin hernia both sides ive been doing pushups off a kitchen bench arm curls squats is this safe to do ,and can i do tors o twits are these safe?
I can't answer individual questions because I don't know your exact circumstances. Burpees may be OK, but check with your doctor/ physical therapist to be safe.
For life long hernia people can't do abs exercise are after surgery 4-6 months after they can do Doctor please reply to me i have to ask you more questions
I just had my second Hernia op, I play Badminton and was advised not to for 3-6 months post surgery, because lunging and stretching can cause micro-tears which could lead to a reoccurrence.

Hello I'm 16 years old and have been working out for hypertrophy 1 year. I’d like to ask something. I have been surgically operated due to appendicitis, and my surgeon told me I can workout again after a month since the surgery, but he also told me that there would be a risk of hernia. Since I train til failure each set (2 sets per exercise and 1 warm up set) do you think I should continue working out? or is there anything I can do to modify my style of training and reduce the risk of getting hernia? Thank you
Am a little different in your case possibly as is everyone. I have four stomach hernias due to an operation of having part of my large bowel removed, which weekend stomach walls. Pre and post hernia operation, my consultant advised not to use a cross trainer. I informed him I didn't use the side arms of the cross trainer. He was okay about that, as he advised using holding the side arms tenses the stomach pelvis too much. Hope this helps.
I’ve been doing sprinting and running in the park and my hernia is going away. Sprinting boosts HGH production in the body. HGH helps to build and repair healthy tissue in the body. This hormone can help to speed up healing after an injury and repair muscle tissue after exercise. Eating red meat has helped as well. Red meat repairs the body.
I have an umbilical hernia and hiatal hernia (esophagus). I dont have any pain but I worry about damaging myself. I want to lift weights and do pushups/situps etc :( my doctor doesnt know shit lol
I have a really bad abdominal separation and I have to be really careful what exercises I do my belly domes out really far if I do any type of ab exercise. I also have been a chest breather for all of my life so it's hard for me to learn the diaphragmatic breathing when I try to breathe in through my nose then it feels like my nose closes off and then I feel restriction in my chest like I am holding my breath but I am really not but it feels like I am.
I just don't understand how the intestines make their way through the hard abs. When I flex my abs and I push with my hand I don't feel any places that are susceptible to pass
If I did, the video would be hundreds of hours long!! You can do most exercises with a hernia, so it's easier to say what should be avoided. Check out my first video with some information on hernias here: ua-cam.com/video/WGA1kit6snY/v-deo.html
Right, I’m screwed on my diet. I started a diet and work out program. Just to find out everything my workout routine consists of, is going to make it worse for my hernia 😩

Please do give some excercise for herbia diagnosed people until surgery is done
I'm not sure what this means but most exercises can still be done, but some need caution. Take a look at this video for more info: ua-cam.com/video/WGA1kit6snY/v-deo.html
Like my Doctor says I may develop hernia, he says to do one leg raises and cycle on back.
These are not even exercises.
Can we do weighted exercises like strength training?
Can we do legs workout after 6 months of hernia surgery? Inguinal hernia mesh repair.
It might be OK, but everyone will be different so check with your doctor.
thanks

Both the rower and the Pilates may be possible, but ask your physical therapist as people recover at different rates.
I got my indirect inguinal hernia doing Russian twists had to have a double mesh & plug a few years ago
Oh wow!
How're you doing now?
@user-oc3lc1sx8m ok thanks, wouldn't want to go through that again as never felt pain like that

I exercise in water. What do you suggest for this type of exercise. I have a hiatal hernia to be repaired laparoscopically soon.

What about gym machines, which ones can be used for strength if there is a lower ab hernia?
Most of them may be OK but depending on your individual circumstances will influence which ones may carry more risk for you.
Can you do things like chin-ups dips and curls. Also can you do squats with just body weight. Is this possible before having surgery. Hope to hear from you and thank you

You need to speak with someone who can assess you (doctor/ physio).
Is light cycling (upright body) on a stationary bike risky with a inguinal hernia?
Can't see how that would be detrimental
Could you tell your stance on hernial girdles please?
I put this in my original hernia video here: ua-cam.com/video/WGA1kit6snY/v-deo.htmlsi=hAke4OGzRzBMCJkB

Best to get checked by a physio who can assess you and offer advice
So which exercises are OK post bilateral inguinal hernia surgery?
Speak to your surgeon/ physical therapist for individual advice
what about heavy deadlifts/squats?
See my first video on general hernia advice here: ua-cam.com/video/WGA1kit6snY/v-deo.html
Are there strengthening exercises that can prevent getting a hernia? I read low protein consumption can trigger a hernia
Not that I'm aware of?
I had Inguinal hernia surgery 2 years back, but which abs exercises can I do? I am scared of reoccurrence 😞
Probably best to check with a physio who can assess you and offer you advice.
What about pushups?
OK, but depend on the intensity and position
Do these apply to hiatal hernia as well?
Not so much. I have a video on that though here: ua-cam.com/video/86QpQu960kU/v-deo.html
Hi, I have a umbilical hernia is it ok to excercise with a twist stepper?
Thanks
I don't know what that is, sorry.

How about pushups for abdominal hernia? Is it safe to do? Thanks.
It MIGHT be?!
Sir i need to know can i do these exercises after i had my henia operation ( i had operation 6 months ago)
Speak with your doctor for individual advice.
Nice video sir..should I stop doing burpees too..and if I do, how many are safe..?
I can't answer individual questions because I don't know your exact circumstances. Burpees may be OK, but check with your doctor/ physical therapist to be safe.
are squats ok? or the horse stance? thank you
Yep, they should be a low risk exercise.
My hernia is quite close to xiphoid process, between top abs, would these exercises work?
Probably best to check with your doctor to be sure
For life long hernia people can't do abs exercise are after surgery 4-6 months after they can do
Doctor please reply to me i have to ask you more questions
I can't offer individual advice, so please speak with your doctor.
Can you push and pull a weight sled?
It's not so much about whether you can or can't but more importantly how you do it.
Can a umbilical hernia patient do cycling and running
Can't see why not, but if you're unsure about your specific circumstances, speak to a doctor for individual advice
I repaired my umbilical hernia. Can I do all these exercises?!..
Check with your doctor
Am i go for a surgery for a 11 mm indirect inguinal hernia in right side and 4 mm in left side. Or can i do abdominal strenthening exercise for this.
I can't answer your question so please speak with your doctor.
I had mesh hernia from right side..now having 6 mm defect from left side .doc asked for abdominal strengthening exercises..plz suggest
Hope the info helps
could i play tennis after inguinal hernia surgery?
Ask your doctor if that is advisable.
I just had my second Hernia op, I play Badminton and was advised not to for 3-6 months post surgery, because lunging and stretching can cause micro-tears which could lead to a reoccurrence.
