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.
The common symptoms of hernia include: 1  Inguinal Hernia: These hernias occur as a bulge in the groin area. 2  Femoral Hernia: These hernias occur when a portion of the intestine bulges out through a weak area in the abdominal wall near the thigh.  Umbilical Hernia: These hernias are seen as protruded areas near the navel.
