Causes

An inguinal hernia occurs when a gap in your lower abdominal wall allows abdominal tissue to push through. Chronic straining to pee or poop, chronic coughing or sneezing, increased pressure within the abdomen, heredity, overweight or obesity, etc are some of the major causes.

Symptoms

Usually, the symptoms of an inguinal hernia can include a burning or aching sensation at the bulge, a heavy or dragging sensation in your groin, weakness, or pressure in your groin, swelling of the scrotum in men, etc.

Treatment

In most cases, doctors will recommend surgery as the first option. These operations are highly prevalent and successful. You can choose between two surgeries: open inguinal herniorrhaphy and laparoscopic herniorrhaphy. During open inguinal herniorrhaphy, the doctor uses one larger incision with the camera over the abdomen near the groin. During laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy, doctors make a series of smaller abdominal incisions. The surgeon uses a long, thin tube with a lighted end to perform the surgery.
