Bilateral femoral hernia, without obstruction or gangrene - what does this mean
Bilateral femoral hernia is a type of hernia where a weakness or tear in the lower abdominal wall allows the contents of the abdomen to protrude through the inguinal canal and into the femoral canal. it can occur without obstruction or gangrene, which is an infection that results in the death of tissue due to lack of blood supply. symptoms of a bilateral femoral hernia include pain, swelling, and a bulge in the groin area. treatment typically involves surgical repair of the hernia to prevent further complications.
What happens during the disease - bilateral femoral hernia, without obstruction or gangrene
