Can you have a hernia in your neck?
No, a hernia cannot occur in the neck. Hernias are protrusions of an organ or tissue through a weakness in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. They typically occur in the abdomen or groin, where there is a natural opening for organs to pass through. The neck does not have any such openings, so a hernia cannot occur there.Hernia Surgery - Related Articles
