This condition can develop through one of the two canals in the lower abdominal area, each on one side of the groin. The passageways are known as inguinal canals. The inguinal hernia has three types – direct, indirect, and strangulated. Direct hernias occur only in men and are characterized by the weakness of abdominal muscles over time. The type is more likely to occur among adults than children as it involves the lifestyle that causes it.
