Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 21
Abstract
Inguinal hernia is the most common hernia seen in females. Only independent risk factors for inguinal hernia in females are positive family history and obstipation. Here we present a case of 60yr old female with irreducible inguinal hernia. On examination an intra-vaginal foreign body was found which was causing patient to strain during micturition leading to chronic increase in intra-abdominal pressure. A herniorrhaphy was done and foreign body was removed intraoperatively.
