Abstract: Inguinal hernia is the protrusion of abdominal contents through a weak spot near the inguinal canal, commonly affecting males. The study aimed to evaluate factors associated with inguinal hernia, its clinical profile, demographic characteristics, complications, treatment approaches, and prognostic implications. A prospective observational study was conducted for six months at a tertiary care hospital. The study analysed 120 cases, revealing a higher prevalence in males (80.83%) and indirect hernias (60.83%). The findings highlight key risk factors, treatment preferences, and potential preventive measures to improve patient outcomes.
