<unk> s are congenital hernias and are much more common in males than females because of the way males develop in the womb. In a male fetus, the spermatic cord and both testicles, starting from an intra-abdominal location, normally descend through the<unk>  canal into the scrotum, the sac that holds the testicles. Sometimes the entrance of the<unk>  canal at the<unk>  ring does not close as it should just after birth, leaving a weakness in the abdominal wall. Fat or part of the small intestine slides through the weakness into the<unk>  canal, causing a hernia. In females, an<unk>  is caused by the female organs or the small intestine sliding into the groin through a weakness in the abdominal wall.<unk>  hernias are the most common type of<unk>  hernia.
