- Inguinal Hernia
An inguinal hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the groin muscles. This typically creates a bulge in the groin area and can cause discomfort. While more common in adults, inguinal hernias can also affect new-borns and infants.
Groin Bulge: The main symptom is a noticeable bulge in the groin, which may become larger with straining or crying.
More Common in Males: Inguinal hernias are more frequent in males, especially on the right side.
Can Occur in New-borns: While less frequent, inguinal hernias can be present at birth or develop shortly after.
Surgery is usually needed: Repairing the weakened muscle wall with surgery is the definitive treatment for hernias.

FAQs for Inguinal Hernias
A noticeable bulge in the groin, especially one that gets bigger when your child coughs, cries, or strains, could be an inguinal hernia. It’s best to consult your doctor for a proper diagnosis.
Inguinal hernias are significantly more common in boys than girls. In boys, they can occur on either side or even both sides of the groin.
Surgery is the only definitive treatment for inguinal hernias. If left untreated, complications like strangulation (tissue getting trapped) can occur. Early diagnosis and repair are important.
Whenever possible, surgeons use minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. This involves small incisions and a camera to guide the repair of the weakened muscle wall in the groin.
Recovery from minimally invasive surgery is usually quick. Your doctor will provide specific instructions on post-surgical care, including pain management and activity restrictions, to ensure a smooth recovery for your child.
