Epidemiology
Age
- Most common in older women.
- Commonly called as 'Little old lady's hernia'.[1]
Gender
- More common in females due to[2]
- wider pelvis
- more triangular obturator canal opening
- greater transverse diameter.
- Usually occurs in elderly and multiparous women.

- Obturator hernia can also be seen in conditions with chronically raised intra abdominal pressure like ascites, COPD, chronic cough.
- Can be seen in pregnant women due to relaxation of pelvic peritoneum, and a wider and more horizontal obturator canal.
