Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for inguinal hernia.

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

The symptoms of inguinal hernia usually develop in the 4th decade of life, and start with symptoms such as bulging, heaviness, burning, or aching in the groin. If left untreated, patients with inguinal hernia may progress to develop incarceration, strangulation. Prognosis is generally good, and mortalilty is very rare.
