Hernia is a disease that can occur in both adults and children, but we usually see it more often in children. Some patients can recover on their own, while others need surgical treatment. So what are the symptoms of hernia in men?

What are the symptoms of hernia in men?

Hernia is a common and frequently occurring disease. The main symptom of hernia in men is a reducible mass in the groin area, which sometimes falls into the scrotum. An oval or pear-shaped lump can be seen or felt at the base of the thigh or below the lower abdomen. Sometimes the lump will drop into the scrotum. It mainly occurs when standing, especially when doing strenuous exercise, coughing, or bearing weight. The lump can be retracted into the abdominal cavity when lying down. Occasionally there will be local distension and referred pain. As the disease progresses, the lump may gradually increase in size, affecting normal life and work, and causing great harm.

What are the dangers of hernia in men?

Male hernia is very harmful. If it is not treated for a long time, it will delay the best treatment time, affect the normal development of the patient's testicles, cause sexual dysfunction and affect fertility. Therefore, hernia must be treated in time. Its harm is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Impact on development and fertility: Since inguinal hernia is adjacent to the urinary and reproductive system, patients are prone to prostate or bladder diseases such as frequent urination, urgency, and increased nocturia; male children may suffer from normal testicular development due to the squeezing of the hernia; and young and middle-aged male patients are prone to sexual dysfunction.

2. Psychological suffering: Hernia will cause a lot of inconvenience and psychological pressure to the patient's normal work and life, and easily cause the patient to have negative emotions such as depression and inferiority.

3. Affect the digestive system: symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, poor nutrient absorption, fatigue and physical deterioration.

4. Hernia induces other diseases: The intestines or omentum in the hernia sac are easily squeezed or collided, causing inflammatory swelling, making it difficult to reduce the hernia, which may lead to hernia incarceration, as well as dangerous diseases such as intestinal obstruction, intestinal necrosis, and severe abdominal pain.
