Solution
The correct option is D Inguinal hernia
A hernia is a protrusion of bowel through a weak point in the musculature of the anterior abdominal wall or an existing opening. It occurs, when there are intermittent increases in intra-abdominal pressure, most commonly in men who lift heavy loads at work. The underlying causes of the abdominal wall weakness are not known. One example is an Inguinal hernia. In this hernia, the weak point is the inguinal canal which contains the spermatic cord in the male and the round ligament in the female. It occurs more commonly in males than in females. In inguinal hernia, the inguinal canal fails to close or reopens due to pressure. Other examples of hernia are femoral hernia, umbilical hernia, incisional hernia, diaphragmatic or hiatus hernia etc.
