Bilateral inguinal hernia, with gangrene - what does this mean
Bilateral inguinal hernia with gangrene is a condition where the intestines have pushed through a weakened area in the abdominal wall, resulting in a hernia on both sides of the abdomen. the hernia can become strangulated, leading to a lack of blood supply to the area and resulting in gangrene.
What happens during the disease - bilateral inguinal hernia, with gangrene
Bilateral inguinal hernia with gangrene is caused by a combination of weakened abdominal muscles and increased pressure in the abdomen, which can cause a tear in the abdominal wall. this tear allows the contents of the abdomen, such as the intestines, to protrude through the wall. if the hernia becomes strangulated, it can cause a lack of blood supply to the affected area, leading to gangrene.
