A groin hernia occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall near the groin area. This condition is more common in males but can occur in females and may present as a noticeable bulge in the groin that is more evident when standing, coughing, or straining.
Groin hernias can affect individuals of any age, from infants to older adults, but are significantly more common in males. Risk factors include a family history of hernias, chronic coughing, chronic constipation, pregnancy, obesity, and previous abdominal surgeries. Activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as heavy lifting, can also contribute to the formation of a groin hernia.
