A hernia is a condition that develops due to a spot weakness in a muscle, through which an organ or tissue squeezes or bulges through.
There are different types of hernias that develop inside different parts of the body, causing an abnormal bulging of one area into another.
Muscles weakness & straining are the main causes.
Poor nutrition, over exertion, smoking, obesity are some of the factors which cause weakness of muscles.
Constipation, pregnancy and persistent coughing can also cause the condition worse.
Inguinal hernia, accounts for about 80% of all hernias. When normally a bulge is seen on one side of your pelvic bone.
In this case the intestine or bladder protrudes through a weak spot of the abdominal wall muscles into the groin – along the inguinal canal, which carries the spermatic cord in men.
If inguinal hernia are not properly treated, the contents of the hernia may be trapped (incarcerated) in the abdominal wall, that can become strangulated, which cuts off the blood flow to the tissue that’s trapped and can be life-threatening.
Common signs & symptoms:
- A bulge in the groin area on either side of your pubic bone, which becomes more obvious when you’re upright.
- The bulge can be painful, especially when you cough, stain, bend over, exercise or lift a heavy object.
- A feeling of pressure or heaviness in your groin.
- A burning, aching or pinching sensation that may radiate through pelvis or down your leg.
- A heavy or dragging sensation in your groin
- Occasionally, pain and swelling around the testicles when the protruding intestine descends into the scrotum
Signs and symptoms of a strangulated hernia may include:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fever
- Sudden, intensifying pain
- A hernia bulge that turns red, purple or dark
- Inability to move your bowels or trapped gas that you cannot pass
Possible cause and risk factors:
- A muscle wall opening or weak spot that don’t close – the opening may be congenital (present at birth), or due to normal, age-related muscle degeneration.
- Congenital differences in the strength of the connective tissue.
- Chronic coughing (from smoking) or sneezing.
- Chronic constipation, straining to pee or poop.
- Frequent strenuous exercise or manual work.
- Multiple pregnancies and carrying small children.
- Jobs that require standing for many hours at a time.
- Intrabdominal pressure from being overweight or obesity.
- Increased pressure within the abdomen
- A pre-existing weak spot in the abdominal wall or from previous surgeries.
- Weaknesses can also occur later in life, especially after an injury.
Risk factors
- Men are eight times more likely to develop an inguinal hernia than are women.
- Being older. Muscles weaken as you age.
- Family history.
- Premature birth and low birth weight. Inguinal hernias are more common in babies who are born prematurely or with a low birth weight.
- Previous inguinal hernia or hernia repair.
DO’S & DONT’S
- Do gentle exercise regularly this will help to strengthen the muscles.
- Eat a good nutritious diet to avoid constipation and do not overeat.
- Emphasize high-fiber foods. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains contain fiber that can help prevent constipation and straining.
- Avoid lifting heavy weights, if you do have to lift, bend from the knees & not from the waist.
- During pregnancy gentle exercises are important to maintain the tone of the muscles.
- In case of persistent cough consult your doctor.
- Avoid smoking, caffeine & alcohol.
