Stating that it is not possible for an inguinal hernia to disappear spontaneously after it occurs, General Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Faruk Özkul said, “The only treatment method for inguinal hernia is surgery. The growth of the hernia over time, descending towards the scrotum, compression of the hernia, strangulation of the hernia, that is, deterioration of the blood supply of the compressed intestine and gangrene can turn into life-threatening complications.”
VM Medical Park Kocaeli Hospital General Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Faruk Özkul made statements about inguinal hernia and treatment methods. General Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Faruk Özkul, who briefly defined the inguinal hernia, said, “Inguinal hernia is the swelling that occurs under the skin when organs such as small intestines and intestinal fat in the abdomen protrude from the weak areas of the abdominal wall. With pushing, coughing, straining and sneezing, intra-abdominal pressure increases and a hernia appears in the groin area. This is the result of increased intra-abdominal pressure or weakening of the muscles and tissues in the groin area. Although it is usually more common in men, it can rarely occur in women. Inguinal hernia can be triggered by factors such as heavy lifting, sudden straining, obesity, chronic cough or constipation.”
