Epidemiology
[edit]Due to differences in width and inclination of the female pelvis and the larger diameter of the female obturator foramen compared to male anatomy, this hernia is more common in women, especially multiparous and older women who have recently lost significant weight. The female obturator foramen has been shown to have a more triangular opening, while for men it is more oval. Childbirth also causes multiple structural changes to the muscle, thereby allowing hernias to form with multiple childbirth. People with lean body builds are more likely to have an obturator hernia[1]. Emaciated people have less tissue surrounding the obturator canal, which allows for hernias to form.

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
