The dangers of inguinal hernia, these four points men must know

Hernia is a common disease. Generally speaking, its incidence rate is highest in the inguinal region. So, what are the dangers of inguinal hernia? Men can understand it from these four factors.

Affects the digestive system

Symptoms include lower abdominal distension, abdominal gas, abdominal pain, constipation, poor nutrient absorption, fatigue and physical deterioration.

Affects the urinary system

Because the groin is adjacent to the urogenital system, elderly patients are more likely to suffer from bladder or prostate diseases such as frequent urination and urgency.

Life-threatening

Because the intestines and other intra-abdominal tissues in the hernia sac are easily squeezed or collided to cause inflammatory swelling, it is difficult to reduce the hernia, leading to hernia incarceration. If not treated in time, intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, purulent peritonitis, water and electrolyte imbalance, shock and even life-threatening may occur.

Causes fertility problems

Young and middle-aged patients with hernia are prone to sexual dysfunction. Children with hernia will have their testicles affected.
