Understanding Inguinal Hernia
An inguinal hernia occurs when a part of the intestine or fatty tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles near the groin. This type of hernia is more common in men and can cause significant discomfort. Without treatment, inguinal hernias can lead to complications such as obstruction or strangulation of the intestines.

Common Causes of Inguinal Hernia

  • Congenital Weakness: Weak spots in the abdominal wall present from birth.
  • Increased Abdominal Pressure: Heavy lifting, chronic coughing, or straining during bowel movements.
  • Aging: Muscle weakness that develops over time.
  • Injury: Trauma to the groin area.

Symptoms of Inguinal Hernia

  • Bulge in the groin or scrotum
  • Pain or discomfort, especially when bending, coughing, or lifting
  • Swelling and tenderness in the groin area
  • Weakness or pressure in the groin
  • Nausea and vomiting (if complications arise)
