What is a femoral hernia?

A femoral hernia is an uncommon kind of hernia. Femoral hernias might present as a painful lump in the inside upper region of the thigh or groyne. When you lie down, the lump is generally moved back into place or vanishes. Coughing or straining may cause the lump to emerge.

What causes a femoral hernia?

A femoral hernia develops when fatty tissue or a portion of your colon pushes through into your groyne near the top of your inner thigh.

It passes via a weak region in the surrounding muscle wall (abdominal wall) into the femoral canal.

Femoral hernias are significantly more prevalent in women than inguinal hernias, particularly in elderly women. This is due to the broad curvature of the female pelvis. Children seldom get femoral hernias.

Femoral hernias can occasionally occur unexpectedly because of tension in the belly, such as:

Constipation can cause pressure on the toilet, as can strong lifting and pushing.

They have also been related to obesity and a chronic, heavy cough.

When is surgery needed?

Femoral hernias can be treated surgically by pushing the bulge back into place and strengthening the weakness in the abdominal wall.

Unlike other forms of hernias, femoral hernias are usually treated very soon since they are more likely to develop problems.

Complications of untreated femoral hernia

Obstruction occurs when a section of the bowel becomes stuck in the femoral canal, causing nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and a painful lump in the groin.

Strangulation occurs when a section of the bowel becomes trapped and its blood supply is cut off, necessitating emergency surgery within hours to release the trapped tissue and restore the blood supply.

Surgery removes the hernia and prevents major consequences, although there is a risk it will reappear after the procedure.
