Hernia Femoral Pectinate

A femoral crestal hernia, or cloquet hernia, is a pathological condition in which internal organs protrude through the femoral canal and femoral ring into the groin area. This is a rare pathology that occurs in men and women aged 30 to 50 years.

The cause of a femoral crest hernia is a weakening of the abdominal wall muscles, which leads to increased pressure on the femoral canal, which connects the femur to the groin area. As a result, organs protrude through the femoral ring and inguinal gap.

Symptoms of a femoral pectineal hernia may include pain and discomfort in the groin area, swelling, redness of the skin, and difficulty walking and climbing stairs.

To diagnose a femoral pectineal hernia, it is necessary to perform an abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment of a hernia can be surgical or conservative.

Surgical treatment involves strengthening the abdominal wall muscles and closing the femoral canal. Conservative treatment consists of the use of painkillers and physical therapy.

In general, a femoral pectineal hernia is a serious pathology that requires timely treatment. If you notice symptoms of this disease, consult your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
