Understand what an inguinal hernia is: An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This type of hernia is common in the groin area.
Identify the symptoms of an inguinal hernia: Common symptoms include a bulge in the groin area, pain or discomfort, especially when bending over, coughing, or lifting.
Recognize the location of the pain: Since an inguinal hernia occurs in the groin area, the pain or discomfort will typically be felt in the groin.
Consider the action that caused the hernia: Lifting a large box can increase abdominal pressure, potentially leading to a hernia if there is a weakness in the abdominal wall.
Conclude the area of pain: Based on the understanding of an inguinal hernia and its symptoms, the area you would likely grab in pain is the groin.
