Answer:

Inguinal Hernia

Step-by-step explanation:

Hernias that occur in the groin, may become evident at any age. Elderly patients are not particularly susceptible to, or particularly protected from, this problem. An inguinal hernia is the protrusion of a loop or more of the intestine through a weakened area in the abdominal wall. Increased intra-abdominal pressure, usually a result of straining, causes this protrusion.
