How to Reduce an Umbilical Hernia With Exercise

How to Reduce an Umbilical Hernia With Exercise

An umbilical hernia is caused by excess pressure at the abdomen, specifically near your navel. Excess pressure causes your intestines to bulge through a weakened abdominal wall, causing swelling and pain. Heavy lifting, excessive coughing, obesity and multiple pregnancies are possible causes of umbilical hernia, according to MayoClinic.com. You can use exercise to treat umbilical hernias, although some cases may require surgery. Consult your physician for your best option.

Kapalbhati pranayama steps are usually very straightforward. However, it is important to ensure that you perform it properly or you may end up hurting yourself.
