Inguinal hernias occur when tissue from the abdominal cavity pushes through the bottom of the abdomen into the inguinal canal, while femoral hernias occur when tissue enters the femoral canal.

The inguinal canal can cause round ligament pain, groin pulls, and hernias due to damage. Round ligament pain is common in pregnancy, while a hernia is caused by the uneven distension of internal components. Core-strengthening exercises and compression shorts can help prevent and treat hernias. Surgery may be required in severe cases. The most common […]
Direct inguinal hernias occur when weakened tissue in the inguinal triangle is compromised by physical exertion, causing intestinal tissue to breach the abdominal wall. Surgery is usually required to restore the tissue. Symptoms include a bulge, pressure, burning, and discomfort. Surgery repairs the tissue and may involve a mesh for reinforcement. A direct inguinal hernia […]
An incarcerated inguinal hernia occurs when herniated intestinal tissue becomes trapped and compromises blood flow, posing a serious health risk. Diagnosis involves physical examination and imaging tests, and treatment usually requires surgery to restore the tissue to its anatomical location. Symptoms can include pressure, burning, pain, nausea, and disruption in bowel habits. Immediate surgery is […]
