Overview

The definitive therapy for femoral hernia is surgery. Medical therapy is given to patients in preparation for surgery and postoperatively to prevent complications. Patients with pre and post operative pain should be treated with non-streoidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as baseline analgesia. Patients with strangulated femoral hernia should be given broad spectrum antibiotics that cover both aerobic and anaerobic gram negative organisms.

Medical Therapy

The definitive therapy for femoral hernia is surgery. Medical therapy is given to patients in preparation for surgery and postoperatively to prevent complications.
