A hernia is a condition where a fatty tissue protrudes through the weakened area that surrounds connective tissues and muscle. Hiatal Hernia is a condition in which a fatty tissue develops in the stomach which either squeezes the stomach or pushes the stomach towards the diaphragm. Diaphragm has a slight natural opening that acts as a path for oesophagus which allows the food to enter the stomach.
