Hernia is a common surgical condition that occurs when the structure of a body tissue or organ is destroyed, causing parts of the internal tissue or organ to protrude or become displaced onto the surface of the body or into adjacent areas. This condition usually occurs when a weakness or opening in an area of the body fails to withstand normal pressure, allowing internal tissue or organs to protrude through this weak point, forming a hernia.
Hernias can occur anywhere in the body, but the most common locations include the abdomen, groin, neck, and thighs. According to the location of hernias and the organs affected, they can be divided into different types, such as inguinal hernia, inguinal canal hernia, femoral hernia, indirect inguinal hernia, direct inguinal hernia, inguinal bursa hernia, etc.
Inguinal hernia is one of the most common types and it usually occurs in the groin area, which is a natural weak point. When the muscles and connective tissue of the inguinal canal, the passage that connects the abdomen and thighs, weaken or tear, a segment of intestine or other tissue within the canal can herniate, forming an inguinal hernia.
Inguinal hernias usually appear as a lump in the groin area, which is particularly noticeable when standing, coughing, or straining. Patients may also experience pain, discomfort, or a foreign body sensation. In some cases, if the contents of the hernia become lodged in the inguinal canal, it may lead to obstruction of circulation, a condition called an incarcerated hernia that requires emergency treatment. 
Femoral hernia is Another common hernia in the groin area, it usually occurs on the inner thigh. The formation of a femoral hernia is related to the anatomy of the inguinal canal. When the muscles and connective tissue of the inguinal canal are weakened or torn, the tissue on the inner thigh may herniate to form a femoral hernia.
The symptoms of a femoral hernia are similar to those of an inguinal hernia, including a lump, pain, and discomfort on the inner thigh. In some cases, a femoral hernia may cause local skin redness and swelling, increased pain, or symptoms of infection.
Indirect inguinal hernia and direct inguinal hernia are two specific types of hernias in the groin area. Indirect inguinal hernias usually occur above and outside the groin area, while direct inguinal hernias occur below and inside the groin area. Both types of hernias can cause lumps and painful symptoms in the groin area.
Inguinal bursal hernia is a rare type that occurs in the bursa (a small sac that acts to reduce friction) in the groin area. A bursal hernia may form when the bursa becomes compressed or torn. This type of hernia usually presents with localized swelling, pain, and limited movement.
