Patient's question:
Your friend's mother recently feels very unwell. After a thorough examination, it was found that the reason is a femoral hernia. Your friend is very worried about whether this disease will be very serious. Hello, what is a femoral hernia?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of inguinal hernia can be categorized into several aspects. When an inguinal hernia recurs, a lump is often present in the groin area. The patient frequently feels discomfort, and after resting for a while, the inguinal hernia may involve small intestines, colon, and other organs and tissues. If these organs and tissues are not in their original positions, they can easily interfere with the digestive system, leading to indigestion, poor health, abdominal pain, and other symptoms, which greatly affect health. The groin area and adjacent urinary and reproductive systems are prone to recurrent perinatal and urinary system diseases. Inguinal hernias in children can interfere with the normal growth and development of the reproductive organs. Adult inguinal hernias can cause sexual dysfunction and infertility. Elderly inguinal hernia patients are prone to symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and polyuria. If the small intestines and colon cannot return to the abdominal cavity through the inguinal hernia sac, it can easily lead to risks such as intestinal necrosis, intestinal obstruction, and severe pain.
