From statistical data, hernias usually have a high rate of recurrence which might appear at or near the site of the original hernia. Recurrence mostly happens due to persistent risk factors which consistently increase pressure in the abdominal wall such as smoking that causes chronic cough, strain during bowel movement from constipation, daily activities such as lifting heavy objects and untreated benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The recurrence of hernias in the elderly is also commonly found due to the weakened muscles of the abdominal wall.
