A member asked:
A ct scan showed low lying cecum extending slightly into proximal ascept of the right inguinal canal without evidence for definite hernation. concern?

No: This finding by itself is not a concern. It may be that one radiologist may read it as normal while another may call it a possibility. The key is if the cecum gets "pinched" in the hernia which may not happen even if the hernia is there. So, if this is the only finding and there is no evidence that the cecum is pinched. Don't worry.
