What Is a Crural Hernia?
Hernia, that is, a certain organ or tissue in the human body leaves its normal anatomical position and enters another site through a congenital or acquired weakness, defect or pore. Common hernias include umbilical hernias, straight inguinal hernias, oblique hernias, incisional hernias, recurrent hernias, white line hernias, and femoral hernias. Abdominal wall hernias are often caused by cough, sneezing, excessive exertion, abdominal obesity, forced defecation, pregnancy, excessive crying in children, and degenerative changes in the abdominal wall strength in the elderly. Organs such as the greater omentum, bladder, ovary, and fallopian tube enter another site through the body's normal or abnormal weak points or defects, and pores.

Basic Information
Clinical manifestations of hernia
- A more common clinical inguinal hernia is a lump that can be seen or felt in the groin area, and can be recovered after lying flat. Many babies are found by mothers when changing diapers, and more often by older children than when bathing. The cause of the lumps is increased abdominal pressure, such as crying, coughing, defecation, and urination. Older children can make them stand, and abdominal force can also induce a lump in the groin area, and some can reach the scrotum or labia. The mass is formed by the prolapse of organs in the abdominal cavity to the hernia bag. Most of the prolapsed organs are the small intestine, so it feels soft to the touch. Others such as the large intestine, appendix, and omentum may also prolapse. Women tend to have prolapsed ovaries, so they often feel masses that are large, stiff, and mostly tender with thumbs. Some children may experience constipation, loss of appetite, etc., which may manifest as easy crying and anxiety.
Hernia
- B-ultrasound, X-ray and other imaging examinations are helpful for diagnosis.
Hernia treatment
- Non-surgical treatment
- Children under the age of one year can be temporarily unoperated. Because of the possibility of spontaneous disappearance, a hernia band can be used to press the deep ring.
- 2. Surgical treatment
- If the hernia is not treated in time, the hernia mass may gradually increase, the symptoms may worsen, and even incarceration or strangulation may threaten the patient's life. Therefore, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible. [1]
