What Is an Inguinal Hernia?

An inguinal hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, specifically in the inguinal canal located in the groin. This condition is more common in males and can affect one or both sides of the groin.

There are two types of inguinal hernias:

  • Indirect inguinal hernia: Present from birth due to a congenital defect.

  • Direct inguinal hernia: Develops over time due to muscle weakness.

Without treatment, hernias can worsen and lead to complications like strangulation, where blood flow to the trapped tissue is cut off—requiring emergency surgery.

Symptoms of Inguinal Hernia

Most inguinal hernias are identified through physical examination. Common symptoms include:

  • A visible bulge in the groin or scrotum

  • Pain or discomfort while lifting, coughing, or straining

  • Burning or aching sensation at the bulge

  • Heaviness in the groin area

  • Swelling around the testicles (in men)

If you notice any of these signs, consult a doctor immediately. Delaying inguinal hernia surgery can increase the risk of complications.

Causes and Risk Factors

Some common causes of inguinal hernias include:

  • Increased pressure within the abdomen

  • Straining during bowel movements or urination

  • Heavy lifting without proper technique

  • Obesity

  • Chronic cough

  • Pregnancy

Risk factors include age, family history of hernias, smoking, and certain medical conditions that cause chronic coughing or straining.

Diagnosis of Inguinal Hernia

Our doctors at MedEase Health will:

  1. Conduct a physical exam to detect the bulge.

  2. Check for hernia when standing and while coughing.

  3. Recommend an ultrasound or CT scan in rare or unclear cases.

Once the diagnosis is confirmed, our surgical team will guide you on the best treatment approach.

Inguinal Hernia Surgery Options

There are two primary surgical techniques for repairing inguinal hernias:

1. Open Inguinal Hernia Surgery

In open surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the groin and pushes the herniated tissue back into place. A mesh may be placed to strengthen the abdominal wall.

Benefits:

  • Effective for large or recurrent hernias

  • Suitable for patients not eligible for general anesthesia

2. Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Surgery

This minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions, a camera (laparoscope), and specialized instruments to repair the hernia.

Benefits:

  • Less postoperative pain

  • Minimal scarring

  • Shorter hospital stay

  • Faster recovery

Our surgeons are highly experienced in both open and laparoscopic hernia repair. We recommend the most suitable technique based on the patient’s age, health condition, and hernia type.

  • Mesh-related complications

  • Recurrence

  • Pain or numbness near incision site

At MedEase Health, we prioritize safety and surgical excellence to minimize risks.

Early surgery prevents complications like strangulation, which is a medical emergency.
