Abstract
Objective: To find out whether there is any causal association between Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Inguinal Hernia Materials and Methods: A prospective study in which 75 male patients aged more than 50 years admitted with inguinal hernia to the surgery male ward of KVG Medical college from 1st October, 2019 to 31st December, 2020 were selected as cases and a corresponding number of control subjects was selected randomly from the patients admitted to KVGMCH, Sullia for conditions other than inguinal hernias so as to make a control group of 75 subjects. Results: No statistically significant association between Inguinal Hernia and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia using International Prostate Symptom Score, Serum Prostatic Specific Antigen, Prostatic size was found. Conclusion: Even though both Inguinal Hernia and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia are seen with increased frequency in the aged male population, this study showed no statistically significant association between the two. Their occurrence together is considered a chance co-existence rather than cause and effect.
