Injury: Inguinal hernia (groin hernia) is the most common fascial hernia. In an inguinal hernia, the anterior abdominal wall "ruptures" at a weak point in the groin area
or read here...
Abdominal organs, for example parts of the intestine, then bulge outward in the area of the groin through this site (so-called hernial orifice). The intestines are still enclosed in the peritoneum, which, however, bulges out through the gap in the abdominal wall like a sack (so-called hernia sac).
Therapy: There are congenital or infantile hernias; these can heal spontaneously in individual cases. In all other cases, surgery is usually unavoidable. During this operation, a mesh is inserted into the hernia site and fixed in place.
Recovery: A surgically treated inguinal hernia (groin hernia) usually takes a favorable course and then usually heals without complications. To prevent a hernia from forming again, it is important after the operation:
not to lift heavy loads for about three to six months,
to eat in such a way that the daily stool is as soft as possible. Was this article useful for you? > Then please press now on the LOB thumb!
