Symptoms of inguinal hernia include bulge in the groin area, burning sensation, groin pain and discomfort, dragging sensation, groin weakness, pain and swelling.

Inguinal hernia can be treated with laparoscopic hernia surgery; ie, passing a laparoscope through keyhole incisions to pull back the protruded abdominal tissues in the inguinal canal and placement of a mesh.
