An inguinal hernia occurs when a portion of tissue, such as part of the intestine, pushes through a weak spot in the groin area. These hernias often appear in the groin area and are 8-10 times more common in men than women.
Understanding the causes of inguinal hernias can help you recognize risk factors:
Congenital weakness: Present from birth due to incomplete closure of the abdominal wall.
Strain from physical activity: Heavy lifting or intense exercise.
Chronic coughing or sneezing: Often associated with smoking or allergies.
Obesity: Excess weight increases abdominal pressure.
Pregnancy: Causes increased strain on abdominal muscles.
Common symptoms of an inguinal hernia include:
Without treatment, inguinal hernias can lead to complications, including:
Strangulation: A part of the intestine gets trapped, cutting off blood flow. This requires emergency surgery.
Obstruction: A blocked intestine can cause severe pain and digestive issues.

Our team offers minimally invasive laparoscopic hernia repair, which involves smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker recovery times. We tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.
