By far the most common hernias (up to 75% of all abdominal hernias) are the so-called inguinal hernias.

The hernia contents push through a weak spot in the back wall of the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia in both men and women. Femoral hernias occur more often in women than men, but women still get more inguinal hernias than femoral hernias.
