Here we will limit ourselves to the variant that occurs later. For a long time, the cause of an inguinal hernia was thought to be a weakness in the connective tissue. But why it occurs in some people and not in others is not fully understood. According to doctors, there are several risk factors that favor a hernia. These factors include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Frequent carrying of heavy loads<\/li>\n<li>Overweight<\/li>\n<li>Certain sports (e.g.: soccer, football, basketball &amp; handball)<\/li>\n<li>Pregnancy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most of these factors have one thing in common: they <strong>increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity<\/strong>. As a result, the connective tissue in the groin area is exposed to greater stress than normal, which increases the risk of a hernia. Important: competitive athletes sometimes experience recurring groin pain during physical exertion. This pain can be the first sign of a preliminary stage of a hernia <strong>(= athlete&#8217;s hernia)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l4qtm9py-4edd69b967b69a0d9c810048754a69ce\">\n.avia-section.av-l4qtm9py-4edd69b967b69a0d9c810048754a69ce{\nbackground-color:#b86a6a;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-l4qtm9py-4edd69b967b69a0d9c810048754a69ce alternate_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  beachten-behandlung avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-8049'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1z47md-20b09e6a8485e31864f02f21bed52f84 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-26  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l4qtkrei-82712ed11e9e891c58f5a5532a74bc68\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l4qtkrei-82712ed11e9e891c58f5a5532a74bc68{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l4qtkrei-82712ed11e9e891c58f5a5532a74bc68 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l4qtkrei-82712ed11e9e891c58f5a5532a74bc68 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-l4qtkrei-82712ed11e9e891c58f5a5532a74bc68 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-27  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Inguinal hernia: When to see a doctor?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lcl04hod-328abe8b8c5da78869871b3c398a7f49 '  ><div class='avia_textblock einruck halfwidth2 av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Do you feel a painful swelling in your groin or do you suspect you have a hernia?

Typically when lifting heavy objects or doing sports. But beware: in athletic people, an incipient hernia can also be mistaken for a groin strain due to overuse. This is why an examination by a specialist is all the more important. If a hernia has been present for some time, increasing, painful swelling in the groin area can also be an indication of a hernia. If in doubt, a specialist should be consulted in order to obtain an exact diagnosis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-l4qtpmsm-00e4728b6db6f55df1296c4db87ec1ac'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><h3 id='toggle-toggle-id-2' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"What kind of pain does a hernia cause?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: What kind of pain does a hernia cause?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: What kind of pain does a hernia cause?\">What kind of pain does a hernia cause?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/h3><div id='toggle-id-2' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-2' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>It is usually a pulling or slightly stabbing pain during physical exertion or movement. Typically, the pain is not present at rest or when lying down. An exception is the incarceration of the hernia. Affected persons feel constant severe pain in the groin region. This is a medical emergency that should be treated immediately at the nearest hospital. But pain does not always have to be present. This is because hernia pain is sometimes also dependent on age. Because pain is something very subjective. For example, the pain associated with a hernia is sometimes perceived as less intense at an advanced age and in rare cases there is even no pain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-l4qtq8a7-c737ccb8240c154db2bf7517124a2906'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><h3 id='toggle-toggle-id-3' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"How quickly does a hernia need to be operated on?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: How quickly does a hernia need to be operated on?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: How quickly does a hernia need to be operated on?\">How quickly does a hernia need to be operated on?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/h3><div id='toggle-id-3' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-3' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>As soon as a hernia has been diagnosed by a doctor, surgery is necessary. This means that every hernia should be operated on, although there are a few exceptions (e.g. old age with serious concomitant illnesses). But how quickly should surgery be performed? If there is no acute incarceration of a hernia, a hernia is not an acute operation. This means that it does not have to be operated on immediately, but should be operated on in the next few weeks to months. However, you should not wait too long to reduce the risk of entrapment. If it becomes trapped, it must be treated immediately as part of an acute operation, otherwise life-threatening complications can occur.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-l4qtq8a7-1-f0925dd6ff8e66bcbf8d38e54f7aedb7'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><h3 id='toggle-toggle-id-4' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-4' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-4' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Can a hernia heal on its own?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Can a hernia heal on its own?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Can a hernia heal on its own?\">Can a hernia heal on its own?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/h3><div id='toggle-id-4' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-4' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>No, a hernia cannot heal on its own.
