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.
Men's Health. The sort of person likely to get a hernia is not necessarily the one who lifts a heavy weight badly. A hernia is just as likely to occur during exercise, coughing, straining on the toilet or even as a result of having a lively sex life. Hernias occur because of muscle weakness, often in or around the abdomen. Hernias happen where the cavity wall is weak. These points of weakness occur where there is a natural gap such as where a digestive tube or blood vessel passes or because of scar tissue. Men commonly describe the sensation of a hernia as feeling like something has popped, or given way.
