3. Introduction
• A is hernias a common
condition that occurs when part
of an internal organ or tissue
bulges through a muscle.
Hernias can occur around the
belly button, through a surgical
scar, in the diaphragm, or in the
groin (the area between the
abdomen and the thigh on
both sides of the body).

4. Causes
• The cause of inguinal hernias isn’t
always known, but they could be
the result of weak spots in the
abdominal wall. Weaknesses can
be due to defects present at birth
or formed later in life.
• Some risk factors for inguinal
hernia include:
• fluid or pressure in the abdomen
• heavy lifting, such as weightlifting
• repetitive straining during
urination or bowel movement.
• obesity
• chronic cough
• pregnancy

5. Symptoms
• Inguinal hernias may be painless or
cause no symptoms, especially when
they first appear. Symptoms that can
develop include:
• A bulge on one or both sides of the
groin that disappears when lying
down.
• Pain in the groin, especially when
lifting, coughing or exercising.
• A feeling of weakness, heaviness or
burning in the groin.
• A swollen scrotum (the sac-like a part
of the male genitalia underneath the
penis).

6. Treatment
• Sometimes a healthcare provider
can push or “reduce” a small
inguinal hernia back into the
abdomen with gentle massage. If
this does not work, surgery may be
needed.
• An inguinal hernia does not get
better or go away on its own. If
you are diagnosed with an inguinal
hernia, your physician will likely
recommend surgery.
