About this document
Inguinal Hernia Pathophysiology Overview by Ivan Louise Fajardo Maniquiz is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Age and family history are non-modifiable risk factors for hernias, while heavy lifting, coughing, sneezing, and strenuous activities are modifiable risk factors. Increased abdominal pressure can weaken the abdominal wall and inguinal canal, allowing fat or intestines to protrude through the inguinal ring into the scrotum, resulting in a swollen bulge with symptoms like burning, pain, and heaviness.
