Symptoms of Groin Hernia in Male. A groin, or inguinal, hernia occurs when an organ within the stomach pushes through the inguinal canal, a region of a man's body that contains the spermatic cord. Though women can also develop a groin hernia, this condition is approximately 10 times more common in men, according to Aurora Health Care. Men who develop symptoms of a groin hernia should receive additional evaluation and care from a medical professional.
Symptoms of an inguinal hernia may include: 1  A bulge in the groin or scrotum. 2  The bulge may appear gradually over a period of several weeks or months. 3  Or it may form suddenly after you have been lifting heavy weights, coughing, bending, straining, or laughing. 4  Many hernias flatten when you lie down.
