Another hernia question

Femoral Hernia- No Penis-

That Med-School training can keep docs from seeing any thing other than what they have been trained to see From the slick illustrations. It’s probably an Inguinal Hernia, but could be any indirect herniation in the anatomic region known as Hesselbach's triangle. (the lower abdominal area extending down through the scrotal region) In med speak--- Direct inguinal hernias are not generally congenital. Instead, they are acquired by the development of tissue deficiencies of the transversus abdominis muscle, which makes up the floor of the inguinal canal. Thus, these hernias protrude directly through a defect in the inguinal canal floor, rather than indirectly following the potential space of the processus vaginalis and the path of the spermatic cord. The development of femoral herniation is not well understood. A femoral hernia can occur as a result of elevated intra-abdominal pressure. In this cir****tance, preperitoneal fat can protrude through the femoral ring, with its accompanying pelvic peritoneum. The hernial sac can then migrate down along the femoral vessels into the anterior thigh. Women may be predisposed to femoral herniation due to weakness of the pelvic floor musculature from previous childbirth Keep going back, and have them loo****il they see! The surgery to repair it was fast and low pain. Total of less that 4 hours from arriving at the hospital To returning home. I was up and going great the next day. Hope you’re fixed soon!
