Inguinal Hernia - Signs & Symptoms, Types, Causes, Risk Factors, Complications and Prevention
By Pace Hospitals August 25, 2023
An inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin area that occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia, and they are more common in men than in women. The symptoms of an inguinal hernia can vary depending on the size of the hernia and whether it is causing any problems. Some people with inguinal hernias may not have any symptoms at all. Others may experience a bulge in the groin area, especially when they cough, sneeze, or lift something heavy. They may also experience pain in the groin, scrotum, or lower abdomen.

An inguinal hernia, or groin hernia, occurs when a part of the intestine or abdominal tissue protrudes through a weakened area in the lower abdominal wall. Common causes include heavy lifting, chronic coughing, or straining, which increase abdominal pressure. Symptoms often include a visible bulge in the groin area, discomfort, or pain that worsens with physical activity. Treatment typically involves surgical repair to push the herniated tissue back into place and strengthen the abdominal wall. Early intervention is crucial to prevent complications and alleviate symptoms effectively.

An umbilical hernia is a bulge or swelling in the belly button area. It occurs when part of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Umbilical hernias are common in infants, but they can also occur in adults. In some cases, an umbilical hernia can become incarcerated. This means that the intestine or fatty tissue gets trapped in the hernia and cannot go back into the abdomen. This can be a serious condition and requires immediate medical attention.
