Patient's question:
Scrotum and lower abdomen pain and swelling, said to be an inguinal hernia. What is an inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a hernia is when a small part of human tissue or an organ re-enters its original position, passing through gaps, scars, or weak areas of the body into another location. It is also known as "small intestine" and includes types such as umbilical hernia, inguinal direct hernia, inguinal indirect hernia, incisional hernia, surgical eventration hernia, linea alba hernia, and femoral hernia. Hernias are often caused by reasons such as coughing, shivering, excessive strain, abdominal obesity, straining during bowel movements, early pregnancy in women, excessive crying in children, or degenerative changes in the abdominal wall strength in the elderly. Surgical treatment is generally the preferred method for improvement and recovery!
