A unilateral inguinal hernia is a protrusion of an organ or tissue from the abdominal cavity through a weakened area in the inguinal region, most commonly the lower abdomen or groin area on one side. This condition occurs when the abdominal muscles weaken and allow the intestine to push through the weak spot, creating a bulge or lump. Symptoms include pain or discomfort while lifting heavy objects, coughing, or straining during bowel movements. Surgical repair is often necessary to prevent complications such as incarceration or strangulation of the hernia contents.
