Why do men get inguinal hernias?
Right sided Inguinal hernias are more common because right sided testis descends later than left side. This is turn causes increased likelihood of patent processes vaginalis on right side causing higher incidence of right sided inguinal hernia. It is still not clear why right testis descends later than left (may be anatomical reasons).
Some human males develop an inguinal hernia a condition in which part of the intestine drops through the inguinal canal into the scrotum Pigs and other quadrupeds do not develop inguinal hernias?
This is probably related to our bipedalism (upright position). Our abdominal organs are subject to gravity and tend to lean more heavily on the membranes that separate the intestines from the reproductive and urinary apparatus. Under certain circumstances (a specially intense effort, some malformation, etc.) the intestines will "fall" to a lower position if there is one (as in this case, which is only possible in males). In a quadruped, the intestines are in a different position and gravity does not have a similar effect. They may develop a hanging belly, but their abdominal organs do not tend to move to the rear.

What is the function of a pig's urogenital opening?

Why are the testicles on the outside of a males body?
Unless you are very young, your testicles should not go inside your body. Your testicles started out inside your body, but descended into your scrotum through the inguinal canals before you were born. Those canals should close up long before you reach puberty. If your testicles are able to go back through the canals into your body, you should go to the doctor and have it check out. Sumo Wrestlers, who are generally selected at a very young age, practice 'tucking' their Testicles into their body. When they Wrestle this is a means of protecting them from injury. Continually pushing the Testicles through the canal opening prevent it from closing during maturation of the body.
