What Is a Hernia?
A hernia is when an organ or tissue pushes through your abdominal wall. There are different kinds of hernias, but the most common happen in the groin or belly area.
Ventral Hernia
A ventral hernia (also known as a belly or abdominal hernia) generally causes a slight bulge along a patient’s outer abdomen. These types of hernias are typically accompanied by:
- Mild pain
- Dull aching
- Sensations of pressure
Heavy lifting and exercise can cause hernia discomfort to worsen.
Inguinal Hernia
An inguinal hernia (also known as a groin hernia) often presents differently in women and men.
Men often experience a bulge at the hernia site. They may feel:
- Aching pain
- Pressure
- A tugging sensation around the scrotum and testicles
While some women may experience a bulge at the site of a groin hernia, this isn’t always the case. Women may feel:
- A sharp, aching pain
- Burning sensations
