Inguinal Hernia- Types, Risks, Management & Complications

An inguinal hernia occurs in the inguinal canal located in the groin. An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, such as a portion of the intestine, pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. The ensuing bulge may hurt when you cough, bend over or lift anything heavy. Many hernias, nevertheless, are painless. A direct inguinal hernia immediately breaches your inguinal canal's wall. Adults gradually develop this type of hernia due to weakening abdominal muscles and ongoing pressure on the muscle wall. An indirect inguinal hernia enters through the top of your inguinal canal. This is usually the result of a birth defect. The opening to the canal does not close in some fetuses during uterine development. #hernia #herniasurgery #inguinalhernia
