Huge (Multiple) Hernia

Huge (Multiple) Hernia

When an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that maintains it in place, a hernia results. The intestines, for example, could break through a weak spot in the abdominal wall.

Hernias most commonly develop between the chest and hips, however they can also occur in the upper thigh and groyne. Although most hernias aren't life-threatening, they don't go away on their own. They may require surgery in order to avoid serious complications.

The most frequent type of hernia is an inguinal hernia. When the intestines push through a weak point or rip in the lower abdominal wall, usually in the inguinal canal, they cause a perforation.

In your groyne, you'll find the inguinal canal. It's where the spermatic cord connects the abdomen and the scrotum in men. The testicles are connected by this chord. The inguinal canal contains a ligament (known as the round ligament) that keeps the uterus in place in women.

A hiatal hernia occurs when a portion of your stomach protrudes into your chest cavity through the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a muscular sheet that contracts and draws air into the lungs to help you breathe. It divides your abdomen's organs from those in your chest.
