Hernias aren’t nearly as common in women as they are in men, making them much tougher to catch and diagnose. However, women do get hernias and misdiagnosis can be dangerous, especially if it reaches the point of pain and, in the worst cases, strangulation. At Beverly Hills Hernia Center, Dr. Shirin Towfigh is the leading expert in diagnosing all types of hernias in men and women. She is here to identify and treat a groin hernia in women before it becomes serious.

The groin hernia in women is typically a femoral hernia, which are usually smaller and tougher to see. This hernia appears just below the groin crease, as a result of a weakness in the lower groin which allows the intestinal sac to drop into the femoral canal. The resulting groin hernia symptoms in women are more likely to appear after pregnancy and childbirth, due to the extreme straining done in that area. Other causes include constipation, heavy lifting, and chronic coughing. Being overweight can also be a contributing factor to the femoral hernia.

Groin hernia symptoms in women are often misdiagnosed, which can be dangerous in some cases. That’s why hernia prevention and treatment is so important. If you so much as suspect that you may have a groin hernia, it is best to make an appointment with Beverly Hills Hernia Center before it becomes worse.
