An
inguinal hernia is a condition in which intra-abdominal fat or part of the small intestine, also called the small bowel, bulges through a weak area in the lower abdominal muscles. An
inguinal hernia occurs in the groin—the area between the abdomen and thigh.
What is inguinal hernia?
This type of hernia is called inguinal because fat or part of the
intestine slides through a weak area at the inguinal ring, the opening to the inguinal canal. An inguinal hernia appears as a bulge on one or both sides of the groin. An inguinal hernia can occur any time from infancy to
adulthood and is much more common in males than females.
Inguinal tend to become larger with time.
