What causes hernia in men?

The onset of hernia is the same for men and women. The reason why most male friends develop hernia is that they do not pay attention to their daily lives, often overeating, or too frequent sex, which can induce the occurrence of hernia. During the attack, the patient will feel abdominal pain and needs timely treatment to properly relieve his symptoms.

Reducible hernia: refers to a hernia in which the contents can be easily and completely returned to the abdominal cavity. The hernia is caused by a sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure and can be returned to the abdominal cavity naturally by lying flat or by gently pushing with the hands.

Irreducible hernia: refers to a hernia in which the contents cannot be completely returned to the abdominal cavity but does not cause serious clinical symptoms.

Incarcerated hernia: When the hernial ring is small and the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, the hernial contents forcefully expand the sac neck and enter the hernial sac. Subsequently, the sac neck contracts, clamping the hernial contents and preventing them from returning.

Strangulation hernia: If an incarcerated hernia cannot be relieved in time, it will cause blood circulation disorders or even necrosis of the incarcerated hernia contents, which is called a strangulation hernia.

1. A reducible mass in the inguinal area that may sometimes fall into the scrotum.

2. Occasionally there is local bloating and referred pain, but generally no special discomfort. As the disease progresses, the mass may gradually increase in size, affecting daily life. Sliding hernia is more common on the right side, with a left-right incidence ratio of about 1:6. When incarceration occurs, the hernia mass suddenly increases in size, accompanied by obvious pain and tenderness, and the hernia contents cannot be retracted. If accompanied by blood supply obstruction, clinical symptoms of strangulation hernia will occur. If not treated in time, complications such as intestinal necrosis and intestinal fistula may occur, and even life-threatening.

An inguinal hernia is a bulge of a segment of the small intestine or a component of the gastrointestinal bed called the peritoneum inside the inguinal canal. It comes in the inguen country due to a weakness of the abdominal wall. Inside the inguinal canal is the ligament of the sperm in adult males, and the ligament that shot the uterus is located in adult females.

Adult males, obese people, and those who have recently undergone surgical intervention in the abdomen are most likely to develop hernias with a weakened outer wall. Inguinal hernias are more common in adults, but the risk increases with age; inguinal hernias [1] also have a higher risk of developing hernias besides genetic factors.

Inguinal hernia refers to the protrusion of abdominal organs through the defect of the inguinal groove to the body surface, commonly known as "hernia". Inguinal hernia is divided into oblique hernia and direct hernia. Oblique hernia is more common in children and young men, while direct hernia is more common in elderly men. Inguinal oblique hernia accounts for the vast majority of the incidence.
