Abdominal hernia often forces free organs in abdominal cavity such as small intestine, cecum, omentum, bladder, ovary, fallopian tube, etc. to enter another part through normal or abnormal weaknesses or defects and pores of human body due to cough, sneezing, excessive exertion, abdominal obesity, forced defecation, pregnancy, excessive crying of children and deterioration of abdominal wall strength of the elderly.
Extended data:
Most inguinal hernias usually do not cause discomfort, because the intestine can generally be pushed back into the abdominal cavity. Although this situation is not particularly urgent, it must be repaired by minor surgery, and only a few will heal themselves. When it is suitable for surgery, you need to consult the attending doctor.
There is also a serious and even dangerous situation of inguinal hernia, that is, the intestine is stuck in the scrotum and cannot return to its original position, which is the incarceration mentioned above (the testicles are stuck in the groin). This condition is called incarcerated hernia.
