The type of hernia that this patient is likely experiencing is an Indirect inguinal hernia.
Groin hernias most frequently occur as indirect inguinal hernias. When stool or other abdominal stuff pulls down through the inguinal canal, it can result in indirect inguinal hernias.
The inguinal canal is the passageway that the vas deferens and testicular vessels of men use to descend into the scrotum. In females, the same tunnel also exists, but it houses the round ligament, which acts as the uterus's suspensory ligament. This tunnel, which transports internal pelvic components downward, is a vulnerable spot in our body by nature. It has long been believed that men are far more likely than women to acquire indirect inguinal hernias because the tunnel has to widen in order for the testicles to pass from the abdomen down to the scrotum.
