Question 1

can excessive sex lead to an inguinal hernia in a male or female?

Accepted Answer

No: Vigorous sexual actvity could aggravate a preexisting hernia but i doubt it would cause one.  I have been doing hernia surgery since 1970 and no one has yet to claim that is how the hernia occurred.

Question 2

does sex activity can lead to inguinal hernia?

Accepted Answer

No. Makes it show up: Strenuous activity like lifting, pushing pulling are all things that "push" on a hernia. If a small hernia existed, these activities will make it become more noticeable with time.

Question 3

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 4

i am a woman did sex cause my inguinal hernia?

Accepted Answer

Hernia causes: The most common causes of hernia are exertion and hereditary reasons.  
Hernias are less common in women than in men.  I would be skeptical that intercourse would result in a hernia.

Question 5

could rough sex cause an inguinal hernia?

Accepted Answer

Essentially no: Most inguinal hernias at your age ; younger are indirect henias, are congental ; thus have been present since birth only have remained closed until abdominal strain forces some intestine or perioneal fat through hernial sac. Thus rough sex may have opened up a potential hernia that was always there.

Question 6

i am a 23 year old male and now i am having a slight inguinal hernia  what are the things i can do without going to a surgery?

Accepted Answer

Not much: If the hernia is bothering you, it is possible to limit your activity to those that don't cause symptoms. The only treatment for the hernia however is a surgical procedure. Good luck!

Question 7

Should stabilize
discussion with surgeon and follow instructions.

Question 8

what is the best surgical option for female child aged 5 years having inguinal hernia?

Accepted Answer

Surgeon's best : The best option for repair is the one the surgeon has the most experience and expertise with, and does the best. Not too many options available for pediatric hernias anyway. She should be fine.

Question 9

can i drink and have sex with an inguinal hernia?

Accepted Answer

Drinking and sex: Yes you can.  The only time you can't drink and have sex is during the surgery to repair the hernia.

Question 10

does inguinal hernia in men usually appear in younger guys (21) and would it appear as pain at very base of penis?

Accepted Answer

Ing. hernias common: Indirect inguinal hernia repair is one of most common operations for pediatric surgeons &amp; due to non closure of slip of peritoneum attached to &amp; facilitating testicular descent. Are thus congenital and quite common into the 20s. Hernias in older men are due to weakness of abdominal wall musculature &amp; are direct inguinal hernias. Indirect inguinal hernia could cause pain at penile base.
