Okay, let's try this from the top. A hernia is a weakening in a muscle, which allows the contents it is holding to push through. Yes, men and women both can get them. There are several forms. Not just inguinal or hiatal. There are sliding, vaginal, omental, scrotal, umbilical, ventral .the list goes on and on. No one gender is more prone than the other. It generally has to do more with your activity level and also ties in with some disease processes.
