Overview
The prevalence of femoral hernia is estimated to be 2% - 8% (2000 per 100,000 cases to a high of 8000 per 100,000 cases) of all groin hernias. The incidence of femoral hernia increases with age, individuals commonly affected are between 40 -70 years of age. Females are more commonly affected than males.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of femoral hernia is estimated to be 2% - 8% (2000 per 100,000 cases to a high of 8000 per 100,000 cases) of all groin hernias.[1][2]
Age
- The incidence of femoral hernia increases with age; the peak age at diagnosis is 50 years.[3]
- Femoral hernia commonly affects individuals between 40 - 70 years of age.[3]
Gender
- Females are more commonly affected by femoral hernia than males. The female to male ratio is approximately 5 to 1.[4][5][3]
