Rick Rypien‘s “virus” update from The Vancouver Province:
The Vancouver Canucks announced Monday that Rick Rypien has a sports hernia injury and will require surgery. All this after the NHL club had said for days that the feisty winger had some sort of virus or viral infection.
“What happened was he came back and wasn’t feeling well, was tested and nothing came up,” coach Alain Vigneault said of Rypien leaving the team after an Oct. 17 game in Buffalo.
“He started to work out on his own and skate on his own and felt a little twinge in his abdomen and he went this morning to get evaluated by a specialist. They found a sports hernia tear on the left side, so he’s going to get operated on in the next couple of days and be out indefinitely.”
The article goes on to discuss Rypien’s history of injuries. It ain’t pretty.

There are some ways to cure hernia besides surgery. The victim of hernia should not lift heavy things, jump around, etc. It’s ok to do sit up, but if the hernia is worsening, stop the activity. This illness can be cured by acupuncture and Chinese medicine too. If anything fails, go to the doctor for further advice. Hopefully, Rypien can be healthy asap.

Hermia is not a dangerous disease, but it needs more treatment than any other virus disease. He should be better soon. Don’t worry

hernia tear is so common in athletes these days. May be they are pushing their limits in order to achieve their targets.

Sports hernias are thought to result from extreme, forceful and repeated twisting-and-turning movements, as in serious levels of play in sports such as soccer, hockey and tennis.

Hernias can be seen in infants and children. This can happen when the lining around the abdominal organs does not close properly before birth. About 5 out of 100 children have inguinal hernias (more boys than girls). Some may not have symptoms until adulthood.

So we can also consider that hernia is a silent killer.. because sometimes symptoms can not be found or detected earlier.

A hernia occurs when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained. These contents, usually portions of intestine or abdominal fatty tissue, are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the cavity. Although the term hernia can be used for bulges in other areas, it most often is used to describe hernias of the lower torso..
