A member asked:
Can scar tissue from femoral hernia cause bowel blockage or cause blood in the stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short answer - NO: A femoral hernia repair is done outside the peritoneal cavity, in which the bowel lies. Only in the most bizarre situation would blood in the stool or intestinal blockage be related to your hernia repair. An unrepaired femoral hernia can indeed lead to bowel obstruction if the loop is entrapped in the defect. It should not cause bloody stool. Discuss with your doctor. Good luck.
