A hernia in your scrotum is called an inguinal hernia. It should be corrected since if it gets stuck down there, the blood flow to that section of intestine can be compromised and can lead to a pretty nasty infection.
Inguinal hernia. The previous poster to this answer was incorrect. A hernia that extends from the abdomen into the scrotum is called an inguinal hernia, while a hiatal hernia is one where the top part of the stomach pokes through the hole in the diaphragm where the esophagus goes.
sounds like a hernia, which is fairly common. Have it checked out.
The reason that a doctor performs this examination is to check for a Varicocele. A Varicocele is a swollen varicose vein that may be in the scrotum and is usually on the left side. The physician checks for a hernia, which is when a portion of the intestine decends into the pubic area, and possibly into the testes. When you cough, your abdomen expands/contracts, therefore moving the intestine if it has descended. The doctor can feel this, and determine whether or not you have a hernia. This question has been answered by a healthcare professional, not an M.D.
Yes, it is done in order to check for a hernia, you must be cleared in order to play organized sports. I have had one, it isn't a big deal.
While having one testicle that is larger than the other could signal a hernia, it might also be nothing at all. Many males find that their testicles are not exactly the same, with one being larger than the other or one hanging lower than the other.
"hiatal hernia" and "hiatus hernia"
you have hernia
A hiatal hernia can also be called a diaphragmatic hernia.
its called hiatal hernia or hiatus hernia.
An inguinal hernia is an affliction wherein the lower intestines will push through the wall of the lower stomach and you will then have a noticeable and painful lump which will most likely distend down to your testicles or to the vaginal wall and it will have the appearance and feel of a third testicle or a quite obvious lump which should not be there. Minimally invasive surgery coupled with meshing is required to resolve this.
Hernia is in German "Leistenbruch"
