Hernia is a condition where an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weakness in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. In the digestive system, hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm. This can lead to symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. Risk factors include obesity, pregnancy, and aging.
