Possible causes
- Inguinal hernia
An inguinal hernia is a condition where a bulge appears in your groin region, in the area between your lower abdomen and your thigh, through a weakening of muscles in your lower abdomen. This bulge is commonly a protrusion of your tissue or abdominal organs such as your intestines. If not treated, inguinal hernias can result in an obstruction of your digestive system.
Related serious diseases
- Incarcerated inguinal hernia
An incarcerated inguinal hernia is a hernia of the small or large intestine that gets stuck in the groin or scrotum due to swelling and cannot be pushed back into the abdomen. It can lead to a strangulated hernia, where the blood supply to the intestine in the hernia gets cut off, causing complications.
