A member asked:
Are bilateral femoral hernias common?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, in women.: In general, hernias are much more common in men than women (these are typically groin or inguinal hernias); however, femoral hernias are more common in women. Likewise, it is more common to have a hernia on one side rather than both, but "double" hernias do occur in about 10% of people who have a hernia on one side.

No: Bilateral inguinal are common. Femoral less so but still happen.
