Bilateral inguinal hernia, with obstruction, without gangrene - what does this mean

Bilateral inguinal hernia with obstruction occurs when the intestine or other abdominal contents protrude through the inguinal canal, which is the passageway through which the spermatic cord passes, and become trapped in the hernia sac. this can lead to a blockage of the intestine, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty passing stool. without gangrene, the hernia can be treated with surgery to repair the hernia and restore normal function.

What happens during the disease - bilateral inguinal hernia, with obstruction, without gangrene

Bilateral inguinal hernia with obstruction is caused by a weakening of the abdominal wall muscles which allows the internal organs to push through and create a bulge in the groin area. this can lead to obstruction if the hernia becomes incarcerated or strangulated, meaning that the contents of the hernia become stuck and unable to pass back through the abdominal wall. this can cause a decrease in blood flow to the hernia, leading to gangrene in some cases.
