Predisposing factors include poor dietary habits
and chronic constipation

Change in bowel habits or patterns is

In many cases, intestinal obstruction occurs

Occurs at the umbilicus
- Abdominal rectus
muscle separates or
weakens, allowing
abdominal structures,
usually intestines, to
push through and come
closer to the skin
- More common in
children

also known as incisional
hernia because occurs at
the site of an incision
- An incision weakens the
muscle and the abdominal
structures move closer to
the skin
- Causes include obesity,
repeated surgeries,
infection during post-op
period, impaired wound
healing & poor nutrition

allows a portion of
the stomach & the
esophagus to move

The disease is
closely associated with unsafe water, inadequate
sanitation and poor personal hygiene.

The virus is transmitted through contact with the blood
or other body fluids of an infected person

bloodborne virus and the most common modes of
infection are through unsafe injection practices;
inadequate sterilization of medical equipment in
some health-care settings; and unscreened blood
and blood products.

the virus can cause both acute
and chronic hepatitis infection, ranging in severity
from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious,
lifelong illness.

from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious,
lifelong illness.

Occasionally, a fulminant form of hepatitis
develops (acute liver failure), which can lead to
death.
