    Pathophysiology Inguinal Hernia

    Uploaded by

    Rellette Shane Dangdang
    Male sex, muscle weakness from birth or aging, being overweight or recent weight loss are predisposing factors for inguinal hernias which occur when intra-abdominal pressure increases, weakening the abdominal wall and inguinal canal. This causes fat or intestine to slide through the inguinal ring forming a defect and bulging into the scrotum, resulting in groin pain or pressure and swollen scrotum.

    Pathophysiology

    Precipitating Factors: Predisposing Factors:


    -Being male -Having muscle weakness from birth, along with a hernia sac -Having muscle weakness from aging -Having one or more inguinal hernia -Being overweight or having a recent, large weight loss (such as in crash dieting) -Having weak abdominal muscles from poor diet, lack of exercise, or both -Straining during urination or bowel movements -Chronic coughing, such as from smoking

    Increased pressure in the compartment of the abdomen is develops

    Intra-abdominal wall (containing membranes or muscle) of inguinal canal into the scrotum becomes weakened.

    Causing the inguinal ring not to close.

    Evolves into a hole or defect

    Fat or part of the small intestine slides through the inguinal canal

    Swollen or enlarged scrotum

    Feeling of weakness or pressure in the groin

    Pain or discomfort
