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.
Hernias are more common in men. A woman may get a hernia while she is pregnant because of the pressure on her belly wall. What are the symptoms? The main symptom of an inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin or scrotum. It often feels like a round lump. The bulge may form over a period of weeks or months.
