Let\u2019s find out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Hernias 101: what you need to know<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a nutshell, a hernia happens when an internal organ protrudes through the tissue that houses it. They tend to occur in and around the abdominal cavity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the most prominent types of hernia you should know about:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Inguinal (groin hernia).<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the type of hernia men worry most about. Groin hernias typically affect men and happen in a passage in the lower anterior abdominal wall called the inguinal canal, hence the name. This hernia happens when fat or a section of the intestine protrudes into the groin near the inguinal ligament at the top of the inner thigh.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Femoral hernia.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Femoral hernias, on the other hand, happen when a section of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes at the tip of the inner thigh where it meets the groin. These hernias are uncommon and tend to affect women more than men (as opposed to inguinal hernias, which tend to affect men).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Umbilical hernia.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As the name implies, umbilical hernias happen when the intestine pushes or fat pushes out through the umbilicus, or the belly button.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-info\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Getting ED medication has never been easier<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Connect with a US-licensed healthcare provider for a FREE evaluation!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-buttons cta2-mobile\">\n\t\t\t   <a class=\"btn1\" href='https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/get-started-lp1'>Get started for just $1.75 per pill<\/a>\n            \t<h6>limited time*<\/h6>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-image\">\n\t\t        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-image-1c.png\" \/>\n\t        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-footer-icons\">\n\t\t        <div class=\"icons d-flex justify-content-around justify-content-md-end\">\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/shipping%20copy%202.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Free Express<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/discreet.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Discreet<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/banned.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>No Waiting<br>\n                                Rooms<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                 <\/div>\n\t        <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hernias are quite common. The majority of hernias that occur are inguinal hernias, with up to 4 out of 5 hernias, or 80% of cases, falling under this category.\u00a0 The rest are umbilical hernias (up to 10%) and then femoral hernias (the remainder).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hernias can arise from stress and trauma caused by lifting heavy objects or by weakened muscles. Umbilical hernias may also happen due to carrying excess weight, recent childbirth, or a persistent cough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hernia symptoms vary largely from person to person and based on the type of hernia incurred. Umbilical hernias, for instance, may cause mild discomfort or pain that worsens when lifting heavy objects or when exerting yourself physically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, inguinal hernias in men cause symptoms such as pain around the groin area, a feeling of pressure around the hernia, a noticeable bulge that can either be seen or felt and a feeling of pulling on the scrotum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women with inguinal hernia symptoms may have symptoms of a burning discomfort or sharp pain that worsens with movement and\/or a visible bulge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hernias often require surgery in order to treat. Many men delay groin hernia surgery if they aren\u2019t manifesting any symptoms. The thing is, hernias can worsen and cause serious complications over time when left untreated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hernia surgery may be done through minimally-invasive surgery using laparoscopic tools and small incisions, or by a more invasive open surgery where the incisions are made directly at the site of the hernia (which will take a longer time to recover from).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surgeons may insert a mesh to provide extra support to the herniated areas during surgery. It\u2019s a very common type of surgery, with nearly 900,000 hernia surgeries being conducted in the United States alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, what connection \u2013\u2013 if any \u2013\u2013\u00a0do hernias have with ED?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Do hernias cause ED? The complete rundown<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most hernias don\u2019t cause pain, but some might experience some degree of sexual dysfunction if they do experience discomfort or pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies show that up to 16% of individuals who got surgery for groin or inguinal hernias experience sexual dysfunctions afterward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postoperative pain may be linked to the synthetic mesh used to support the weakened areas causing inflammation. The mesh may also catch a nerve, which may cause severe pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undergoing a surgical repair for an inguinal hernia may have an effect on sexual activity, as indicated by a study in the Central European Journal of Urology in 2016. This is due to a possible long-term tissue induration following the mesh repair, which can have an impact on sexual function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, open or laparoscopic groin hernia surgery may cause swelling or bruising in and around the scrotum, or in and around the testicles and penis. However, the pain and discomfort typically subside over time.`<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There aren\u2019t any specific restrictions on sexual or physical activity after surgery, but patients experiencing discomfort should tread cautiously, because the vigorous physical or sexual activity may be extremely uncomfortable for some. Ask your healthcare provider how to go about your recovery phase to determine what activities you can and can\u2019t do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless, the likelihood of groin hernias causing ED or other sexual dysfunctions is actually slim to nil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s because the inguinal canal \u2013 the site where groin hernias occur \u2013\u00a0is a wholly separate entity from that of your male parts, meaning it has its own set of nerves. Meaning, your reproductive system\u2019s nerves are mostly unaffected compared to those of the inguinal hernia when you undergo surgery to fix it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the likelihood of experiencing sexual dysfunction or pain <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increases <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if you don\u2019t seek immediate medical treatment for your hernia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, if you\u2019re experiencing ED, you might want to determine other potential causes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Is it possible to take sildenafil (Viagra\u00ae) after getting hernia surgery?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on your healthcare provider\u2019s advice. If you\u2019re manifesting symptoms of ED and you don\u2019t know what\u2019s causing it, your healthcare provider will help you determine any underlying conditions and formulate a treatment approach that\u2019s suited for your particular situation.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-info\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Getting ED medication has never been easier<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Connect with a US-licensed healthcare provider for a FREE evaluation!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-buttons cta2-mobile\">\n\t\t\t   <a class=\"btn1\" href='https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/get-started-lp1'>Get started for just $1.75 per pill<\/a>\n            \t<h6>limited time*<\/h6>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-image\">\n\t\t        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-image-1c.png\" \/>\n\t        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-footer-icons\">\n\t\t        <div class=\"icons d-flex justify-content-around justify-content-md-end\">\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/shipping%20copy%202.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Free Express<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/discreet.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Discreet<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/banned.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>No Waiting<br>\n                                Rooms<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                 <\/div>\n\t        <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h2><b>What ED drugs can I take?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several oral medications have been approved for the use and treatment of ED by the FDA as first-line treatments: these include PDE5 inhibitor drugs like sildenafil (Viagra\u00ae), tadalafil (Cialis\u00ae), vardenafil (Levitra\u00ae) and avanafil (Stendra\u00ae).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, you should avoid taking PDE5 inhibitor drugs if you are taking anti-hypertensive (anti-high blood pressure) drugs, nitrates, or alpha-blockers, or if your healthcare provider has advised you to refrain from engaging in sexual activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your healthcare provider may also advise you to take an analgesic or anti-inflammatory medication to help reduce swelling and pain in the scrotum.
