Introduction: Inguinal Hernia Is One of the Most Common — Yet Most Neglected Hernias
An inguinal hernia occurs in the groin when a part of the intestine pushes through a weak spot.
Men, especially those involved in heavy work, are commonly affected.
Ignoring it is risky — because pain, swelling, and strangulation can occur unexpectedly.
At BariOSS Clinic, Dr. Christopher S.K. provides safe, precise, minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic hernia repair for long-lasting relief.
⭐ What Exactly Is an Inguinal Hernia?
It forms when internal tissue or intestine bulges into the groin canal.
There are two types:
✔ Indirect inguinal hernia — congenital weakness
✔ Direct inguinal hernia — acquired muscle weakness
Both require surgical correction.
⭐ Why Inguinal Hernias Happen
✔ Heavy lifting
✔ Chronic cough
✔ Long-term constipation
✔ Straining during urination
✔ Obesity
✔ Smoking
✔ Previous surgery in groin area
✔ Family history
✔ Muscle weakness due to aging
⭐ Symptoms of Inguinal Hernia
✔ Groin swelling
✔ Bulge that disappears when lying flat
✔ Pain while lifting, coughing or running
✔ Dragging or pulling sensation
✔ Burning in the groin
✔ Heaviness at day end
✔ Swelling in scrotum (in men)
Sudden severe pain → emergency.
⭐ Dangers of Ignoring an Inguinal Hernia
⚠ 1. Strangulation
Blood supply to intestine cuts off → requires emergency surgery.
⚠ 2. Obstruction
Severe abdominal pain, vomiting.
⚠ 3. Enlargement
Bigger hernias = more difficult repair.
⚠ 4. Chronic groin pain
Due to nerve pressure.
