Does Inguinal Hernia occur in women?

Often Inguinal Hernia is perceived as a disease that is reserved only for the male population. Inguinal Hernia occurs also in women. However, the majority of the population that is affected by inguinal hernia are males. Inguinal Hernia occurs when abdominal tissue or a part of an intestine bulges and protrudes through the lower abdominal wall and into the inguinal canal. This occurs predominantly in males due to the fact that males by birth have a small hole in the groin muscles through which the blood vessels and spermatic cord passes to the testicles. This is why Inguinal Hernia occurs more in male than female. In conclusion, Inguinal Hernia does occur in females but it is more common in males.

Does lifting heavy weights cause Inguinal Hernia?

When a part of the intestine or other abdominal tissues protrudes through the weakness near the groin area it is referred to as an inguinal hernia. The hernia breach is exactly at the right or left inguinal canal. Sometimes there is a hernia on both the side of the abdomen.

An inguinal hernia is the most common hernia of all the hernia types present. It is estimated that it is 70% of all the hernia types. In that 70%, almost all of an inguinal hernia happens in men. 

There is a common misconception among people that weight lifting and lifting heavy objects can cause Inguinal Hernia. A hernia is the presence of a hole in your abdominal walls. When you perform strenuous activities like lifting heavy objects, more pressure is applied to the abdominal wall and abdominal tissues tend to protrude out. Hence heavy lifting does not cause Hernia, but it can aggravate the situation.

Contents of Inguinal Hernia:

The different contents of Inguinal Hernia depend upon the part that descends into the inguinal sac. Most commonly in an Inguinal Hernia, it is the small intestine that descends into the hernia sac in the groin. Sometimes contents from the abdominal area can also descend into the hernial sac. The contents that descend from the abdominal area includes an appendix, Meckel's diverticulum, urinary bladder and even the large intestine (colon).

Why there are so many different types of Hernia meshes?

A Hernia is a condition where a defect is formed due to weakened tissues, through which organ tissues can slip and go out of place. The treatment for a hernia is mesh repair. Mesh repair treatment is used to treat almost all the different variants of a hernia. The success of a hernia repair depends upon the surgeon's experience, type of mesh and quality of the mesh. Different herniae require different meshes of different size and different specifications. Another factor to consider is graft-rejection. Graft-rejection occurs when the newly placed mesh tissue is rejected by the recipient's immune system. The mesh once kept inside should not hinder the surrounding tissue or the function of the surrounding organs. To avoid all such complications different mesh types are used. A simple mesh is used mostly in young patients with good muscle tone. On the other hand, a complex or advanced mesh is used for old people who have undergone previous surgeries and have weak and flabby muscles.

Does the Hernia mesh dissolve into the body?

A hernia is a condition where the abdominal tissue moves from its original residing position and into a different place. The four different types of hernia include Inguinal Hernia, Hiatus Hernia, Umbilical Hernia, and Incisional Hernia. Inguinal Hernia is the most common types of hernia. Treatment for hernia is suggested based on the severity of the condition. If the hernia is severe and the person experiences severe symptoms, surgery is the only option. If the person is asymptomatic then, a 'wait and watch' approach is taken.

Surgical Hernia treatment involves placing the displaced tissue back into its original position and placing a surgical mesh to provide support and re-enforce it.

Hernia meshes or surgical meshes are a sheet that is used as a support medium to support the weakened or damaged tissue. Surgical meshes are made from either synthetic materials or animal-derived tissues (bio-degradable). Synthetic meshes are available in absorbable and non-absorbable forms whereas animal-derived tissue meshes are made of animal skin or intestine tissue that is cleaned, disinfected and made ready for use.

The Synthetic non-absorbable mesh is a permanent implant that remains in the body forever without degrading. This mesh is used in almost all Hernia repair surgeries. Absorbable meshes, on the other hand, degrade over time and hence are not used for any long term reinforcement.

What is a Henia mesh and how do they work?

Inguinal Hernia occurs when a part of the intestine tissue protrudes through the weakened muscle or connective tissue. Most Hernia's require surgical correction while others do not. Most hernia's require a surgical mesh. Surgical mesh is a device that is used to hold and provide support to the weakened and damaged tissue.

Surgical meshes are made using synthetic or animal tissue. Synthetic surgical meshes are available in knitted and non knitted forms. Animal derived surgical meshes utilize animal tissue like intestine, skin and other tissues that are cleaned and dis infected for medical use. Surgical meshes are available in absorb-able and non absorb-able configurations. The non absorb-able mesh will not degrade over time and will provide permanent support to the tissue.The absorb-able mesh will degrade over time. As the mesh degrades, new tissue will grow and provide support.

Do all Hernia need surgical repair?

Inguinal Hernia is the protrusion of the intestine or abdominal tissues through the weakened tissue near the groin area. The hernia breach can occur either on the right or left inguinal canal. Sometimes the breach can occur on both sides of the abdomen

Do all Hernia need surgical repair?
Hernia once occurred cannot heal on its own. Hernia definitely needs surgical correction. The location and severity of the Hernia differ from person to person. Sometimes some patients require immediate surgical correction while others can delay the surgery by days, months and even years. Some people might never need surgery if the hernia is small and the symptoms are negligible. For people with small hernia who experience zero to minimal symptoms are usually asked to wait and watch for symptoms to occur. The decision to postpone the Hernia repair surgery can and should be advised by a Doctor.

What are the effects of Obesity on Hernia?

Obesity has always been hard on people. The increased fat accumulation of the body apart from causing co-morbid conditions like diabetes, blood pressure, etc., can also lead to many medical conditions at times one such issue can be Hernia. Obesity can also worsen an already existing Hernia.

Increased Obesity can cause Hernia:
More strain and pressure is applied to the abdominal muscles while being obese which can make the abdominal wall weaker. The fat present on the internal organs of a person is also very high in an obese person. This additionally contributes more pressure to the abdominal muscle wall. As the abdominal muscle wall gets weaker, it increases the risk of Hernia at one or more sites.

Effect of Obesity on pre-existing Hernia:
Sometimes Hernia may be already present in obese people. Due to their obesity, the presence of a Hernia can go undetected. In most conditions, the existing Hernia becomes acute and it signals our body that the intestine is trapped in the hernia layer. This entrapment of the intestine in the hernial layer can lead to the death of that particular region of the intestine and can cause gangrene. The patient will suffer from severe pain and should be hospitalized and surgically treated immediately.

Can Yoga cure Hernia?

Many websites on the Internet proclaim that Yoga can cure Hernia. But if you carefully watch those websites, they are mostly websites that promote Yoga. You can hardly find neutral websites that post the success of Yoga in curing Hernia. Does that mean Yoga is ineffective in curing Hernia? In other words, Can Yoga cure hernia?
We clearly aren't undervaluing the benefits of Yoga, but yoga can negatively affect Hernia.There are many vital organs present in the abdomen. All the organs are confined, packed and protected by the muscles in the abdomen. Hernia occurs when the muscles that keep these organs confined and protected becomes weak and causes the displacement of the internal organs. Yoga cannot put back the displaced organ and requires a hernia repair surgery.

Does Inguinal Hernia surgery affect male fertility?

Since Inguinal Hernia occurs close to the testicles, there is a perception that Inguinal hernia surgery affects male fertility. Here are two things to look at. Does the inguinal hernia surgery cause a problem in sexual dysfunction? In other words, does the inguinal hernia surgery cause problems in sex? Even if there was no problem in sexual dysfunction, does an inguinal hernia surgery cause male infertility?

Can Hernia cause sexual dysfunction in men?
Inguinal Hernia is a condition where a part of the intestinal tissues descends down into the inguinal canal. Actually speaking Inguinal Hernia does not cause sexual dysfunction in men. Sexual dysfunction refers to erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is a condition where the male penis cannot sustain an erection. However if an Inguinal hernia is left unattended for many years, the scrotum bulges gradually and buries the penis. Due to this burial of the penis, its sexual function is affected which may cause erectile dysfunction.

Can Hernia cause low sperm count in males?
Having an Inguinal hernia that recently occurred does not cause low sperm count. An unattended Inguinal Hernia can, however, alter the temperature of the testicles. The testicles require the low temperature to produce optimal sperms. If the temperature increases, the sperm count can also decrease. This low sperm count occurs only due to the long term effects and due to the ignorance of the patient. Prompt consultation with a surgeon and subsequent surgery can address this issue.
