Hello doctor. I am a female, when I was a child I had an inguinal prolapse. I want to ask if this disease has inguinal prolapse, will it make the abdomen bigger? Because I noticed that from childhood to adulthood, my belly was enlarged in the lower abdomen. Going to the gym for half a year but still having a big belly, the coach told me that my belly is not a fat belly but because of the internal organs, so no matter how much I exercise, I can't reduce my belly. I hope your doctor can help me with this situation. I would like to thank you.

Hi there. The doctor would like to answer the question: "Does inguinal prolapse make the abdomen bigger?" Your condition is as follows:
Inguinal prolapse means also known as inguinal hernia. However, inguinal hernia in women accounts for a low percentage of inguinal hernias. Congenital or acquired inguinal hernia does not enlarge the abdomen but causes abdominal distension when there is evidence of intestinal obstruction leading to intestinal obstruction.
You should go to a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals under the Vinmec Health System nationwide to get a diagnosis of your distended abdomen.
Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec. Best regards!
