What causes inguinal hernia?

To put it bluntly, inguinal hernia refers to the colon, sigmoid colon and other organs and tissues in the abdomen passing into another part through a gap or damaged part of the body. Inguinal hernias include direct hernias and indirect hernias. Indirect hernias are more common in children and adults, while direct hernias are more common in the elderly. Both men and women may have inguinal hernias, and they may occur on both sides. Below I will also explain the causes of inguinal hernia for everyone, hoping to help you.

1. Inguinal hernias in children are mostly due to congenital causes. Insufficient growth and development in the fetal stage will cause the sheath to not close or close completely, resulting in coughing, constipation, etc., which will increase the abdominal pressure of the body, thereby causing the colon, sigmoid colon and other human organs and tissues to escape and form a hernia.

2. Inguinal hernia is more common in adults. Poor lifestyle, overwork, excessive exercise, pregnancy, frequent constipation, poor urination, etc. may cause increased abdominal pressure or weak abdominal foundation, which may cause the body's colon, intestines and other human organs and tissues to escape, leading to hernia.
