A member asked:
Can excessive sex lead to an inguinal hernia in a male or female?

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.

Nope: So enjoy yourself because it wont cause a hernia. But if you have a hernia, it might aggravate it.
