Inguinal Hernia in Females - A report of two cases with literature review
Journal Title: The Indian Practitioner - Year 2015, Vol 68, Issue 2
Abstract
The rarity of inguinal hernia in females remains a clinical curiosity. Due to its rarity inguinal hernias are much more difficult to diagnose in women than in men. We report two cases of direct inguinal hernia in females. Direct inguinal hernia in females being very rare and therefore is an easily missed diagnosis and should be kept at the back of the mind as a differential while dealing with pelvic problems in females.
