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.
Other common symptoms of an inguinal hernia include: 1  pain or discomfort in the affected area (usually the lower abdomen), especially when bending over, coughing, or lifting. 2  weakness, pressure, or a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen. 3  a burning, gurgling, or aching sensation at the site of the bulge.
