Epidemiology and Demographics
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of inguinal hernia include history of hernia or prior hernia repair, older age, male gender, obesity.
Screening
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for inguinal hernia.
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
The symptoms of inguinal hernia usually develop in the 4th decade of life, and start with symptoms such as bulging, heaviness, burning, or aching in the groin. If left untreated, patients with inguinal hernia may progress to develop incarceration, strangulation. Prognosis is generally good, and mortalilty is very rare.
