Inguinal hernia is a common cause of a reproducible mass in the groin area.
A reducible mass is a hernia that protrudes to the surface of the body and protrudes into the inguinal area when the mass is walking upright or sneezing or coughing with increased abdominal pressure. After the patient lies down or returns the mass with his hands, the mass disappears, so it is a reproducible mass, and in most cases it is an inguinal hernia.
Including hiatal hernia and straight hernia, inguinal hernia is due to the presence of a defect in the inguinal region of the abdominal wall of the human body, the abdominal cavity of the tissues or organs through the defect here, protruding toward the body surface to form a hernia.
When an inguinal hernia exists, the tissue or organ in the abdominal cavity enters the hernia sac and becomes incarcerated, mainly involving the intestinal canal, the greater omentum, and other tissues. Prompt medical attention is recommended if a reproducible mass is present in the inguinal region.
