Key Takeaways
A femoral hernia is a type of hernia that forms when fatty tissue, or an inguinal hernia, pushes through the femoral canal. This type of hernia is more common in women than men and is often the result of increased pressure on the abdomen, such as during constipation. Symptoms may include pain in the groin or upper thigh area, a bulge or lump in the area, and difficulty walking.
