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

A bilateral inguinal hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine or other abdominal contents protrude through the abdominal wall and into the inguinal canal. this can occur due to a weakness or defect in the abdominal wall, and is more common in men than women. in the absence of obstruction or gangrene, the hernia may be asymptomatic or may cause pain or discomfort.

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

Bilateral inguinal hernia is caused by a weakening of the abdominal wall, allowing the internal organs to protrude through the inguinal canal. this weakening can be caused by a number of factors, including excessive strain on the abdominal wall due to physical activity, obesity, pregnancy, or chronic coughing. the hernia can also be congenital, meaning it is present at birth. once the hernia has occurred, it can become larger over time and can be painful or uncomfortable. if left untreated, the hernia can become obstructed or gangrenous, which can be life-threatening.
