Sports Hernia Surgery

Sports hernias are extremely common amongst athletes and sportsmen around the world, and in some cases, a surgery is the only option to get rid of the ailment completely. Sports hernias are typically caused when the athlete twists muscles in his groin and adductor area, so the damage that is sustained can be pretty serious and long lasting. As a result of this, the athlete may suffer from a relapse a few months later when he resumes full intensity physical activities, and this can permanently weaken these very muscles in his body.

Surgery for people suffering from this condition is usually considered to be the last resort in order to prevent further damage from occurring. Doctors usually advise the injured individual to rest for a few weeks and refrain from any physical activity, and they also suggest some suitable rehabilitation exercises and cures. In most cases, these solutions work effectively and the injured individual gets rid of his problem. But when the damage is too severe, or the individual resumes strenuous physical activities too soon, then the pain will reappear and in all likelihood it will be worse. This is when a sports hernia surgery will be necessary.
