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.
Yes, pigs and other quadrupeds can develop inguinal hernias. An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, such as the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This condition can be seen in various animals, including pigs, dogs, and horses.
Yes, you can be born with an inguinal hernia. This congenital condition occurs when a portion of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles, typically in the groin area. It is more common in males and may be detected at birth or shortly thereafter. Inguinal hernias can vary in severity and may require surgical intervention if symptoms develop.
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).
The majority of hernias occur in males. Nearly 25% of men and only 2% of women in the United States will develop inguinal hernias. Inguinal hernias occur nearly three times more often in African American adults than in Caucasians.
Peptic ulcers can develop in the lower part of the esophagus, the stomach, the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum), and the second part of the small intestine (the jejunum).
Diverticulitis primarily occurs in the large intestine (colon), where diverticula, or small pouches, can form due to increased pressure. While diverticula can also develop in the small intestine, this condition is much less common and is typically referred to as small intestinal diverticulosis. If inflammation occurs in these small intestinal diverticula, it can lead to diverticulitis, but this is rare compared to its occurrence in the colon.
No. Boys and girls (men and women) can get hernias. Men are 10 times more likely than women to get "inguinal hernia". In men, this occur when part of the intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the abdomen; often along the inguinal canal, which carries the spermatic cord and in women it can develop where the tissue that binds the uterus exits from the abdomen and joins with the tissue surrounding the vaginal opening..

you will develop diarrhea.
The larvae are coughed up into the throat and mouth, and are then swallowed and passed into the small intestine. It is within the intestine that they develop into the adult worm
myelodysplastic syndrome
The juncture of the lower abdomen and inner thigh is known as the inguinal region or the inguinal crease. This area contains important structures such as lymph nodes and blood vessels that serve the lower abdomen and thigh. It is also a common site for hernias to develop due to the natural weakness of the abdominal wall in this region.
