Can women get hernias?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's wrong with my lower body, it's very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Can women have hernias?

Doctor's answer:

Whether male or female, there is a possibility of recurring hernia. This condition is usually due to congenital weakness at the inguinal opening, where the intestines frequently protrude through the weak area, leading to the formation of a hernia. In addition to the weak sac, if the weakness is severe and the intestines cannot be retracted, prolonged exposure can lead to localized pain or even symptoms of compression, which may result in intestinal obstruction and abdominal pain. In such cases, immediate reduction or surgical treatment is necessary.
