Inguinal hernia
Pain, burning, discomfort in the groin area mainly associated with physical exertion coughing, sneezing or defecation - if you observe these symptoms, you may suffer for inguinal hernia. This is the most common type of the disease. Because of the anatomical differences, inguinal hernia occurs more often in males than in females.
What are the other signs of this disease? Pain radiating to the testicle, or a lump appearing in the groin or scrotum. In the early stages, inguinal hernia can be quite easily reintroduced into the abdominal cavity - all it takes is a light compression. However, it does not go away. If you experience its symptoms, visit one of our doctors who will help you get back to health.
What are the causes of this type of hernia? The main ones are developmental defects in the structure of the abdominal cavity. When you sneeze, cough or defecate, as well as during childbirth and physical strain, the forces acting on the abdominal wall are too large, leading to the formation of stretch marks. These in turn grow and form the hernia opening.
Modern surgery offers a number of methods of treating inguinal hernia. Owing to the professionalism of our physicians working at the Hernia Treatment Centre of the LUX MED Group Hospital, you will return to your health quickly.
