Hello dear,
After going through your history, I believe you have some genuine concern and I will try to help you out of this situation.

Hernia is protrusion of gut through any weakness in the muscular wall of belly. Hence any abnormal force from inside your belly, like straining at defecation OR prolong cough an lead to flaring up the condition. Please do not blame the innocent pill ( Penicillin), which might be in severe depression due to your allegation.

I hope I could solve your query. Please do not hesitate to clarify more doubts for the same situation.

Thank you for the way you are in my life.
