An inguinal hernia occurs. when part of the intestine slips out of a tear in the abdominal muscle and bulges into a weak spot in the inguinal canal.
In case of a hernia (hernia) is an organ swollen or the organ bulges through an opening in the abdominal wall. An inguinal hernia occurs in the groin area when part of the bowel slips out of a tear in the abdominal muscle and bulges into a weak spot in the inguinal canal called an opening in the lower abdomen.
Inguinal hernia operations are usually performed on an outpatient basis. A small incision is made in the groin area and the intestinal part is pushed back into the abdominal cavity. Then the abdominal muscle is closed with stitches. This has repaired the break.
Inguinal hernias are common in children under one year of age. In adults, the cause of an inguinal hernia is unknown, but lifting heavy objects is generally seen as a contributory cause of an inguinal hernia.
