Chronic Sneezing Or Coughing
Inguinal hernias can develop in individuals who experience chronic sneezing or coughing. Chronic sneezing or coughing can be caused by a number of factors, which can increase the pressure on the abdominal muscles and the wall of the inguinal canal. A person with severe allergies may sneeze frequently due to the allergen. Allergic reactions can make someone more susceptible to upper respiratory infections. Upper respiratory infections, such as the cold, flu or pneumonia, can cause a person to cough a lot to remove phlegm from their lungs.
As a result, individuals with lung diseases like chronic obstructive respiratory disease or asbestosis and pulmonary fibrillis will cough more frequently and harshly. Smokers of tobacco or marijuana can also cough with a harshness that increases pressure in the abdomen. Inguinal hernias can be caused by the pressure bursts in the abdomen that are caused by coughing and sneezing.
