What is an Inguinal Hernia?
An Inguinal Hernia occurs when soft tissue, usually part of the intestine or fatty tissue, pushes through a weak area in the abdominal muscles near the groin. It is one of the most common types of hernia and may cause pain or discomfort, particularly during activities such as coughing, bending, or lifting heavy objects.
Common symptoms include:
- A visible bulge on one or both sides of the groin, more noticeable when standing.
- Pain or discomfort in the groin, especially during physical strain.
- A feeling of heaviness or aching in the groin area.
Surgical repair is the definitive treatment for symptomatic inguinal hernias and is recommended to prevent complications such as incarceration or strangulation, where blood supply to the trapped tissue is compromised.
