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

Bilateral femoral hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine protrudes through an opening in the abdominal wall in the femoral canal. this can cause obstruction of the intestine, leading to severe pain and swelling. if the obstruction is not relieved, it can lead to gangrene of the affected area.

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

Bilateral femoral hernia with obstruction is caused by a protrusion of abdominal contents through a weakened area of the inguinal canal. this can occur due to increased pressure in the abdominal cavity, such as from coughing, straining during bowel movements or lifting heavy objects. the obstruction of the hernia can cause the abdominal contents to become trapped and cause pain, nausea, and vomiting. if left untreated, the obstruction can cause gangrene which can lead to further health complications.
