Groin Hernia
There are three types of groin hernias that can occur in both males and females:
- Inguinal Hernia - (most common)—a bulge in the groin (or scrotal area in men)
- Direct
- Indirect
- Femoral Hernia - a bulge in the groin, upper thigh, or labia (in women)
- Obturator Hernia - a rare type of hernia of the pelvic floor in which the pelvic or abdominal contents protrude through the obturator foramen
