An inguinal hernia or groin hernia is a hernia (protrusion) of abdominal cavity contents through the inguinal canal.Symptoms, which may include pain or discomfort especially with or following coughing, exercise, or bowel movements, are absent in about a third of patients.
The abdominal cavity contains most organs of the digestive system, including the stomach, the small intestine, and the colon with its attached appendix.Other digestive organs are known as the accessory digestive organs and include the liver, its attached gallbladder, and the pancreas, and these communicate with the rest of the system via various ducts.
