Scrotal hernia symptoms pictures

The so-called scrotal hernia actually refers to indirect hernia. Indirect hernia is the passage of abdominal viscera through the inner ring line and the inguinal canal into the scrotum. Its symptoms are pear-shaped masses in the scrotum, which appear when standing up and decrease or disappear after lying down. Right-lateral hernia may cause masses. When the symptoms that cannot be reduced are acute compression symptoms, local mass pain may occur, which is a manifestation of intestinal obstruction. Emergency surgery is required at this time. When elective surgery can be performed to repair the unsupported inguinal hernia, it can be explored whether the direct hernia of the groin can be repaired at the same time.

The hernia contents enter the scrotum, which is more common in patients with indirect inguinal hernia. Because the foundation of the abdominal cavity is weak, the contents of the abdomen protrude and enter the scrotum. The typical clinical symptom of indirect inguinal hernia is that the scrotum is swollen and painful when standing up. If you lie flat, the hernia contents can be restored to the abdomen, which can reduce the swelling of the scrotum. The reducible lump is a typical clinical manifestation of indirect inguinal hernia. Patients with indirect hernia need surgical treatment to improve the symptoms. Through surgical treatment, the hernia sac can be repaired, thereby preventing the protrusion of the abdominal contents and achieving the purpose of treating hernia. If hernia exists, it is recommended to actively check and treat it.

Male scrotal hernia refers to inguinal oblique hernia. In severe cases, the hernial sac falls into the scrotum. When the patient stands up, the hernial contents (mostly the intestine) fall into the scrotum, causing scrotal pain and discomfort. If the hernial ring is narrow, there will also be hidden pain symptoms because the herniated intestine stretches, which can cause lower abdominal pain and discomfort.

Most patients can push the hernia contents into the abdomen by themselves, or the hernia contents will return to the abdomen by themselves when lying flat. For patients with narrow hernia ring opening, it may be difficult to reduce or incarcerated, which requires technical professional doctors or emergency surgery.
