A left inguinal hernia is a type of hernia that occurs in the groin area on the left side of the body. Hernias occur when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot or opening in the surrounding muscle or tissue. In the case of an inguinal hernia, part of the intestine or abdominal tissue can push through the inguinal canal, a passage in the lower abdomen that contains the spermatic cord in men and the round ligament in women.
Left inguinal hernias are more common than right inguinal hernias because of the way the body develops during fetal development. They may be present at birth or develop later in life due to factors such as straining during bowel movements, heavy weightlifting, pregnancy, obesity, or chronic coughing.
Symptoms of a left inguinal hernia can include a bulge or swelling in the groin area, pain or discomfort during physical activity, and a heavy or dragging sensation in the groin. Treatment typically involves surgical repair to strengthen the weakened muscle or tissue and prevent the hernia from recurring.

You have many reasons to choose Pristyn Care over others to undergo left inguinal hernia treatment. Listed below are some reasons why you should choose Pristyn Care:
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of a left inguinal hernia typically involves a physical examination by a healthcare provider. The provider may ask the patient to cough or strain during the exam to see if a bulge appears in the groin area. Imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI may be used to confirm the diagnosis.
Surgery
Surgical treatment is usually recommended for left inguinal hernias, as they do not usually go away on their own and can lead to complications such as incarceration or strangulation. The surgery is called a hernia repair and is usually done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
There are two main types of hernia repair surgery: open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. In open surgery, a small incision is made in the groin area and the hernia is pushed back into place. The weakened area of the abdominal wall is then reinforced with a mesh patch.
Laparoscopic surgery involves making several small incisions in the abdomen and using a camera and special instruments to repair the hernia.
There are benefits and risks of both the surgeries and the choice of procedure depends on the patient’s medical history and the severity of the hernia. Recovery time after surgery is usually a few weeks, during which the patient may need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity. Pain medication and ice packs can help manage any discomfort during this time.
Left inguinal hernias are one of the most common types of hernias, accounting for around 75% of all inguinal hernias. Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia overall, with an estimated 27% of men and 3% of women developing one in their lifetime.
Left inguinal hernias are more common than right inguinal hernias, likely due to the way the body develops during fetal development. Men are also more likely to develop inguinal hernias than women, due to the presence of the spermatic cord in the inguinal canal.
Risk factors for developing a left inguinal hernia include being male, having a family history of hernias, being overweight or obese, smoking, chronic coughing, and certain medical conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or connective tissue disorders. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you may have a left inguinal hernia, as untreated hernias can lead to complications such as strangulation or incarceration.
