While femoral hernias can occur in both males and females, almost all of them develop in women because of the wider bone structure of the female pelvis.[1] Femoral hernias are more common in adults than in children. Those that do occur in children are more likely to be associated with a connective tissue disorder or with conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressure. Seventy percent of pediatric cases of femoral hernias occur in infants under the age of one.[1]
