Hernia
The majority of hernias usually develop between a person's chest and hips. Although individuals with a hernia may notice a lump or swelling in their tummy, it's not unusual for symptoms to be nonexistent.
Ascites elevate intra-abdominal pressure, increasing the risk of developing umbilical hernias around the belly button and inguinal hernias around the groin. Both types of hernias can cause discomfort in the abdominal area. Over-the-counter pain relief can help manage the discomfort associated with inguinal hernias.
