Question 1

can an inguinal hernia cause pain 24/7?

Accepted Answer

Inguinal hernia: Absolutely. If an inguinal hernia is incarcerated it can cause a lot of pain. If you are experiencing a lot of pain and you feel a lump please see a physician as soon as possible. Good luck.

Question 2

how much can an inguinal hernia in men hurt?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Most inguinal hernias in men will cause mild local aching pressure at times. If a hernia becomes large and incarcerated, this type of hernia can be very firm groin swelling and painful and need emergency medical evaluation.

Question 3

how do i find out where can an inguinal hernia be located?

Accepted Answer

In the groin: In the inguinal canal, roughly between the pubic bone and the iliac spine.  It can be direct or indirect, but you usually can't tell until the time of operation.  If you have a hernia and it is painful, uncomfortable, or unsightly, you should have it surgically repaired.

Question 4

can an inguinal hernia become incarcerated or strangulated on its own?

Accepted Answer

Yes: That is precisely why surgical repair is recommended before you find yourself in that situation, as it is a medical emergency. See a surgeon to discuss repair. The surgery is usually relatively simple with a short recovery time depending on the method used.

Question 5

can an inguinal ligament pull cause slight enlargement of inguinal lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: What's more likely is you are 'noticing' your lymph nodes now that you've sustained an injury. These 'groin' lymph nodes are almost always slightly enlarged to some degree because of bowel function. Poop is loaded with bacteria, and with daily BMs, the immune system stays on alert to prevent any complications from normal biological function. To be sure-have a MD check these out at your next visit.

Question 6

can an inguinal hernia cause blockage?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: A hernia is said to be incarcerated when a structure within the abdominal cavity gets "stuck" within the hernia.  If this happens to be a loop of intestine, this can cause blockage and lead to the blood supply of the intestine being cut-off; we call this a strangulated hernia.  If one has a large, tender lump in the groin that cannot be pushed back in, this requires emergency md attention.

Question 7

can an inguinal hernia cause urinary issues?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially: If part of the bladder is incarcerated in the hernia sac.  More commonly, prostate hyperplasia can cause you to strain at urination, worsening the hernia condition.  Have your surgeon take a look at your hernia.

Question 8

can an inguinal hernia cause blood in the semen?

Accepted Answer

Not that I know of: I have never heard of a inguinal hernia causing such a symptom.  An inguinal hernia is in close proximity to the vas deferens, which is the tube that carries sperm from the testicle to the urethra.  I would recommend seeing a surgeon regarding the hernia and a urologist regarding the blood in your semen.

Question 9

can an inguinal hernia cause erectile disfunction?

Accepted Answer

NO: No  it will not and unrelated if present.

Question 10

can an inguinal hernia cause testicular entrapment?

Accepted Answer

Yes by complications: Inguinal hernia by itself will not, but a huge  untreated incarcerated  inguino- scrotal hernia may cause entrapment, also as a rare post operative complication.
