Schedule a Consultation

An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, usually part of the intestine, pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles near the groin. This causes a bulge or swelling in the area, especially noticeable when the person coughs or lifts heavy objects. Inguinal hernias are more common in men and can occur at any age.

Causes

An inguinal hernia can result from a congenital weakness in the abdominal muscles or from prolonged muscle strain over time, such as when lifting heavy weights, straining during bowel movements, or due to chronic coughing. Genetics can also play a significant role in the development of inguinal hernias.

Common Symptoms

• A lump or swelling in the groin area, especially noticeable when standing or coughing.
• Pain or discomfort in the groin, especially when bending over, coughing, or lifting.
• A feeling of heaviness or aching in the groin.
• In severe cases: nausea, vomiting, or a hernia that cannot be pushed back into the abdomen.

Inguinal Hernia Treatment

Inguinal hernias usually don’t resolve on their own and require medical intervention. Surgery is the most common and effective treatment to push the herniated tissue back and strengthen the weakened muscle area. However, treatment may vary depending on the patient’s health and age.
