An inguinal hernia – is also known as a groin hernia. This is a lump or mass that will develop from a protrusion of the small intestines or fatty tissue that will push its way into the area of the groin. It does this by pushing through any weak areas that exist in the abdominal wall due to old age, heavy straining, or prior surgical procedures.
