Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been feeling unwell and restless. There's persistent pain in the area near the genitals and thighs, and I suspect it might be a hernia. I'd like to ask, what is the medical term for this area near the genitals and thighs?Doctor's answer:
The issue you mentioned is generally related to the groin area. Your symptoms may be associated with an inguinal hernia. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital for examination. Local color Doppler ultrasound can be performed to identify the cause. Symptomatic treatment should be administered. If diagnosed with a hernia, surgical treatment can be considered. After surgery, proper care is important. Rest as much as possible for the first two weeks and minimize physical activity. Avoid upper respiratory tract infections, coughing, and activities that increase abdominal pressure.
