Hiatal (Hiatus) Hernia Signs & Symptoms (& Why They Occur) Hiatal (Hiatus) Hernia is a gastrointestinal condition involving herniation of part of the stomach through the esophageal hiatus, which is an opening in the diaphragm. A hiatal hernia may occur due to a variety of factors, including obesity, increasing age, and chronic constipation. Due to the herniation of the stomach, the lower esophageal sphincter may open inappropriately, leading to a variety of signs and symptoms of reflux. In this lesson, we discuss the signs and symptoms, along with the complications, of having a hiatal hernia. I hope you find this lesson helpful.
