What is an inguinal hernia?

An inguinal hernia is a bulge that develops in your groin, which is located between the bottom portion of your abdomen and your thighs. Inguinal hernias are caused by a weakening of the lower abdominal muscles.

The intestines in the lower abdomen are protected by three layers. The first is a thin membrane known as the peritoneum. The abdominal muscles are the second layer, and your skin is the third.

An inguinal hernia occurs when your intestines and peritoneum push through the muscles, resulting in a bulge beneath your skin. Inguinal hernias are harmful because they tend to get bigger, and your intestine might become trapped inside the bulge and lose blood flow. This is known as a strangulated inguinal hernia, and surgery may be needed to correct the problem.

What are the Types of Inguinal Hernias

There are two types of inguinal hernias:

An indirect inguinal hernia. This is the most frequent form of hernia, and it may be present from birth. Although it can affect both men and women, men are far more likely to experience it. This is because the male testicle begins inside the belly and must descend via an aperture in the groyne to reach the scrotum. If this hole does not shut at delivery, a hernia develops. In women, this form of hernia can develop when reproductive organs or the small intestine move into the groyne due to abdominal muscular weakness.

A direct inguinal hernia. This form of hernia is caused by the gradual weakening of your abdominal muscles and is more common in adults. Direct inguinal hernias are exclusively found in men.

What are the symptoms of Inguinal hernia?

The primary symptom is a noticeable protrusion in the groyne region. In males, an inguinal hernia can extend down into the scrotum, causing it to expand. Small hernias may move back and forth through the hole in the abdomen without causing any symptoms. Larger hernias can be rubbed back into the abdomen. The symptoms of recurrent hernias include:

  • A bulge that expands as you strain and vanishes when you lie down.
  • Sudden discomfort in the groyne or scrotum when exercising or straining
  • A sensation of weakness, pressure, burning, or pain in the groyne or scrotum

An incarcerated hernia is one that cannot be retracted back into the abdomen. This is a serious position because the segment of your intestine inside the hernia might get strangulated, resulting in a medical emergency. The symptoms of a strangulated inguinal hernia are:

  • Severe pain and redness.
  • Pain that is becoming worse.
  • Fever
  • Rapid heart rate.
  • Nausea and vomiting.

How is an Inguinal Hernia diagnosed?

A medical history and physical examination are most commonly used to identify inguinal hernias. Your doctor will quiz you about hernia symptoms. During the exam, he or she will search for and feel for any bulges in your groyne or scrotal region. You may be asked to rise and cough to reveal the hernia. Inguinal hernias in children can only be seen or felt when they cry.

How is an Inguinal Hernia Treated?

Inguinal hernias are generally repaired surgically. Treatment for people with minor hernias that do not produce symptoms may be as simple as watching them. Adults with symptoms, as well as the majority of children, often have surgery to avoid the potential complications of a strangulated hernia. An incarcerated or strangulated hernia may necessitate emergent surgery.

There are two major forms of surgery for inguinal hernia.

Open the fix. An incision is made in the groin region. The surgeon retracts the hernia and sutures the abdominal wall shut. Mesh implantation can enhance the closure and lower the chance of hernia recurrence.

Laparoscopy or robot-assisted repair. This form of surgery makes a few small incisions and employs a narrow scope with a small camera. The surgeon operates via the scope to fix the hernia, often from a console using robotic arms. Mesh is commonly used for these repairs. These minimally invasive techniques have a faster recovery time and cause less discomfort than open repair.

If you have undergone surgery for an inguinal hernia, it is critical that you follow all of your doctor’s recommendations and attend all follow-up appointments. Getting out of bed and walking is a vital aspect of healing and helps to avoid difficulties. Avoiding heavy lifting and other demanding activities might help prevent an inguinal hernia from recurring following surgery. Ask Dr. Parthasarathy what activities are safe and when you can return to work.

If you have a minor hernia that is being monitored or a corrected hernia, take precautions to avoid becoming constipated. Eat lots of fibre, drink plenty of water, exercise, and use the loo whenever you feel the need.

Consult the specialist immediately if you experience the following:

  • You have a painful protrusion that cannot be put back in.
  • You’re experiencing growing discomfort, swelling, or redness.
  • You have nausea, fever, vomiting, and hernia discomfort.

FAQs

Can an inguinal hernia heal itself??

An inguinal hernia will not heal on its own and it requires surgery to be repaired. You can wait for the surgery if the hernia does not bother you. But it is best you undergo hernia repair surgery as early as possible because as the hernia grows bigger the muscle walls of abdomen get weaker and more tissue bulges out increasing the chances of complications.

What happens if inguinal hernia is left untreated?

It is best you undergo hernia repair surgery as early as possible because as the hernia grows bigger the muscle walls of abdomen get weaker and more tissue bulges out increasing the chances of complications like strangulation and tissue death.

How long is recovery from inguinal hernia surgery?

You will be able to get back home on the next day of hernia surgery. You will be able to return to work within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. You can undertake strenuous activity or exercising after 6 weeks.
