What is a hernia?
A hernia is caused when an internal organ or tissue within the abdominal cavity pushes through a weakened area of the abdominal wall. This typically occurs in either the abdomen or groin area and results in a noticeable swelling or bulge.
Hernias are a common condition that affects men more commonly than women. They tend to manifest quite suddenly and are known to commonly appear after performing strenuous physical activity.
They can also be incredibly discomforting and come in various forms, each associated with various locations within the body. Some of the most common types of hernia include:
- Inguinal hernia – the most common type of hernia that develops on either side of the groin, typically caused when a portion of the intestine protrudes into the inguinal canal.
- Femoral hernia – more common in women than men, this type of hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through the femoral canal, a passageway located near the upper thigh.
- Incisional hernia – this hernia develops at the site of an incision or scar, where the abdominal wall has previously been weakened as a result of surgery.
