An inguinal hernia happens when a weakness in the muscle of the groin allows the intestine to bulge through. The first sign of an inguinal hernia is usually an unexplained bulge in the groin area. An inguinal hernia can be present at birth or develop over time. It can be difficult to determine if a hernia is a femoral hernia or an inguinal hernia. They are only differentiated by their location relative to the inguinal ligament.
