Darkening of Areolas: If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker. Food Cravings or Food Aversions: While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant.

Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure. Inguinal hernias occur when part of the membrane lining the abdominal cavity (omentum) or intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the abdomen â often along the inguinal canal, which carries the spermatic cord in men.
The inguinal canal is a passage in the abdominal wall. Men and women both have two inguinal canals: one on each side of the abdomen. An inguinal hernia is a bulge in the abdominal wall of your groin, likely caused by your intestine pushing through this weakened area of the abdominal wall.
