Schedule Your ConsultationA hernia is an abnormal opening in the abdominal wall. This opening may result from enlargement of a naturally occurring opening or from prior surgery. Once this abnormal opening is large enough, the contents of the abdominal cavity may protrude through it. In the early stages, this protrusion may involve abdominal fat, which may present as localized pain.
As the opening enlarges, abdominal organs (most commonly the intestines) may pass through, leading to a visible bump. Generally, all hernias should be repaired. Surgical repair is most beneficial when performed selectively, allowing for a planned, controlled procedure.
While most groin pain is caused by inguinal hernias, there are many other causes. Frequently, hip problems can mimic hernia pain. Athletic pubalgia, commonly referred to as a sports hernia, is another prevalent cause of groin pain. Despite its name, a sports hernia refers to an injury to the muscles, ligaments, and attachments to the bony pelvis, rather than a true hernia. This condition is often treated with physical therapy, but many patients require surgical intervention.
Hernias can develop anywhere on the abdominal wall. Non-groin hernias usually occur at the belly button or at the site of previous surgeries, particularly after bariatric surgery. Additionally, cesarean section deliveries can also result in abdominal wall hernias.
If you suffer from a swelling in the groin or any part of the abdominal wall, have been diagnosed with a hernia of any type, or are experiencing unexplained abdominal wall or undiagnosed groin pain, please contact Premier Health Group.

Providing patients with insight into their bodies, disease process and their treatment plans is the type of education they need in order to feel empowered to take control of their lives. This is my approach to medicine. So my philosophy regarding patient care is that everyone’s different. Everybody has their own story. Everybody has their own issues that they’re coming to you for, and the treatment plans and the diagnostic plans should be individualized.
