Patient's question:
I had been having constipation for a long time, and recently, with many dining engagements, I haven't been drinking enough water or resting well, making it difficult to have a bowel movement. Exerting too much force, there's a lump in the groin area that moves, and it's said to be an inguinal hernia. However, it subsides later and doesn't affect my normal life. Hello, where does the hernia grow?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, there are many different types of hernias. The most common type in men is inguinal hernia. The hernial sac is weak in the inguinal area, and a soft lump can be felt in the groin area or along the inner thigh. When lying down, the hernial sac can retract. In an inguinal, the hernial sac can protrude into the scrotum. People with hernias should undergo surgery for repair as early as possible to avoid the occurrence of an incarcerated hernia or a strangulated hernia, which may lead to the inflammation of the intestinal tract.
