What Are the Most Common Symptoms of a Scrotal Hernia?

Inguinal hernia and scrotal hernia (Inguinal hernia and scrotal hernia), the abdominal organs prolapse through the inguinal ring into the inguinal sheath tube, called inguinal hernia, more common in sows and bitches. Hernia contents further descend into the scrotal sheath cavity and are called inguinal scrotal hernias, which are more common in stallions, boars, and dogs. Hernia contents are mostly omentum, bowel, uterus or bladder.

Inguinal scrotal hernia

English name

Inguinal hernia and scrotal hernia

Common causes

* Congenital hernia is genetically related, due to congenital enlargement of the inner groin ring

Common symptoms

Inguinal hernia: Oval swelling in the groin

First, the cause

* Congenital hernia is genetically related, which is caused by congenital enlargement of the inner groin ring.

* Acquired hernias are caused by pregnancy, obesity, or strenuous exercise (breeding of stallions), which increase the intra-abdominal pressure and enlarge the inner groin ring, resulting in a decrease in abdominal organs.

Second, symptoms

* Inguinal hernia: Oval swelling in the groin.

* Scrotal hernia: Significantly enlarged scrotum on one side.

* Most of them can be recovered in the early stage. They are soft and elastic to the touch, without heat and pain. If the swelling and the scrotum cannot be reduced, the hernia contents will adhere to the sheath.

* If the intestinal clamp is closed, the local swelling is severe, the pain is severe, and a series of systemic reactions such as an increase in body temperature immediately occur, and toxic shock will soon occur and die.

Third, the diagnosis

* Diagnosis basis: One or both sides of the scrotum are enlarged, and it is soft to touch, without heat and pain; when the animal is lifted and squeezed, the contents of the hernia can be incorporated into the abdominal cavity, and the scrotum is reduced, which is a reducible hernia.

* Irreversible scrotal hernia should be distinguished from orchitis or testicular tumors.

Fourth, treatment

* After general anesthesia, the animals were placed in Baoding in a supine position, prepared sterilely in the groin, cut in the groin ring, and separated downward to reveal the hernia sac and groin ring.

* After the hernia contents are completely incorporated into the abdominal cavity, the groin ring is closed directly to the bitch. For non-breeding male dogs and cats, the spermatic cord is ligated and removed, and the groin ring is closed.

* For male dogs and cats who want to breed, pay attention to protecting the spermatic cord after receiving the contents of the hernia, and use the nodule or spiral suture method to reduce the inguinal ring appropriately.

* Regularly closed skin incisions.
