A hernia is a condition in which tissue from inside the abdomen
bulges out through a weak spot in the muscles of the abdominal
wall. A strangulated hernia occurs when the tissue gets trapped
very tightly in the hernia and its blood supply is cut off.
Immediate surgery is always needed for a strangulated hernia.
