Working out with a hernia?

Check with a doc.

The problem with straining with a hernia, which is a weak spot on the abdominal wall, is much like those bubbles you see in shitty tire sidewalls just before they're about to fail.

Unlike tires, the weak spot can allow a loop of your intestine to protrude out.

If it goes back in or can be pushed back in

(reduced), then no big deal, the weak spot is the problem.

If it gets trapped outside the wall (incarcerated), then there's a chance that blood flow gets cut off by the abdominal wall (strangulated), so that loop of intestine dies.

This can cause death via septic shock, requires immediate emergency surgery, and you may need to learn to shit into a bag through your abdomen.

Don't fuck with this.

No use having a six pack if your glued-on shitbag obscures them.

You really should ask it on a medical forum, not here.

Your health is not something to be ruthless for. You are asking for complications.

Those said, that's a good opportunity to practice stoicism. If you talk to a woman, get the attitude "I'm wounded, and I'm talking to this girl anyways".

Do not seek or hope compassion, pity or "understanding". Women get put down for it.
