股疝:一种腹股沟附近的疝气,疝内容物(如肠管或脂肪)从股管(femoral canal)突出,通常出现在大腿根部靠近腹股沟的位置。临床上相对少见,但嵌顿/绞窄风险较高。(该词也可泛指此类疝的诊断或病变本身。)
/ˈfɛmərəl ˈhɝːniə/
She went to the doctor because a painful lump appeared near her groin, and it turned out to be a femoral hernia.
她因为腹股沟附近出现疼痛肿块去看医生,结果诊断为股疝。
Although femoral hernia is less common than inguinal hernia, it can become strangulated quickly and may require urgent surgery.
尽管股疝不如腹股沟疝常见,但它可能很快发生绞窄,可能需要紧急手术。
femoral 来自拉丁语 femur(“大腿”),表示“与大腿/股部有关的”;hernia 源自拉丁语 hernia(“疝、突出”)。合起来字面意思就是“发生在股部区域的疝”。
