Inguinal Hernia
An inguinal hernia is the result of displaced tissues coming through a tear in the abdominal muscles. This injury may occur from overexertion, straining while using the bathroom or preexisting weaknesses in the abdominal muscles.3‘Inguinal Hernia - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 26 Feb. 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/inguinal-hernia/symptoms-causes/syc-20351547
One of the common tests for inguinal hernia in males is a manual examination and manipulation of the testicles. The doctor examines the testicles by asking the patient to stand and cough while manually checking for bulges in the groin area.3‘Inguinal Hernia - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 26 Feb. 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/inguinal-hernia/symptoms-causes/syc-20351547
