Overview
The most common cause of femoral hernia is an enlarged femoral ring. Less common causes of femoral hernia include increased intra-abdominal pressure and pregnancy.
Causes

- Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours, if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of femoral hernia, however complications resulting from untreated femoral hernia is common.
Common causes
Femoral hernia may be caused by:[1][2]
- An enlarged femoral ring
- A non-existent iliopubic tract or pectineal ligament
- A narrow posterior inguinal wall attachment on to the pectineal ligament
Less common causes
