What are the symptoms of a hernia in women

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable physically. My friend who studies medicine told me it might be related to a hernia. I'd like to ask what are the common symptoms of a hernia? Is it necessary to go to the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

Female inguinal hernia can occur on one side or both sides. This condition is more common in young girls, primarily involving femoral hernias. They may appear as round bumps at times or as long, irregular shapes. They can sometimes emerge from the lower right abdomen or lower right side and descend into the perineum. If it is severe, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly and cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
