A hernia is a medical condition that happens when an internal part of the body forces through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. In some cases, the hernia does not show any symptoms or sometimes only a few symptoms, although the affected individual can experience swelling or lump in their tummy (abdomen) or groin area.

About 90% of all groin hernias are inguinal in nature.
