Can Tight Pants Cause Hernias?

Wearing tight pants cannot cause a hernia, but it might exacerbate an existing hernia or cause bulging if pressure is already present. Hernias are holes in the abdominal wall resulting from wear and tear, congenital issues, or other factors, and are not caused by external pressure from clothing. Treatment typically involves surgery, and maintaining a healthy weight and proper lifting techniques can help prevent hernias.

Pope Francis undergoes successful three-hour surgery.

Pope Francis underwent a three-hour long surgery for an incisional laparocele (hernia) that was causing recurrent, painful and worsening sub-occlusive syndromes.
