A new study shows that elderly people with evidence of infection with three common viruses -- viruses that cause cold sores, genital herpes, and a mono-like illness -- were more than twice as likely to suffer from dementia.
Symptoms of Groin Hernia in Male. A groin, or inguinal, hernia occurs when an organ within the stomach pushes through the inguinal canal, a region of a man's body that contains the spermatic cord. Though women can also develop a groin hernia, this condition is approximately 10 times more common in men, according to Aurora Health Care. Men who develop symptoms of a groin hernia should receive additional evaluation and care from a medical professional.
Digestive Symptoms. Often hernia patients are first aware of their condition because of a feeling of heaviness that doesn't go away. In many cases, this feeling is accompanied by constipation or blood in the stool. Digestive symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may indicate the presence of a bowel obstruction or strangulation caused by a hernia.
