Skrotalhernie · Hodenbruch · Inguinoscrotal hernia · Leisten-Hodensack-Bruch
A scrotal hernia occurs due to an anatomical weakness in the groin area of male dogs. This defect allows abdominal organs, such as loops of the intestine, to slip through the inguinal canal, which is the natural passage connecting the abdomen to the scrotum. It is a structural issue that affects both the digestive and reproductive systems.
Owners typically notice a soft swelling on one or both sides of the scrotum, which usually becomes visible during puppyhood or adolescence. If the herniated tissue becomes trapped and loses its blood supply, the dog will suddenly show signs of severe pain, depression, or vomiting.
This condition is highly treatable through a one-time surgical operation to close the abdominal opening, which is usually combined with castration. The procedure typically costs between 800 and 2500 EUR, and successful surgery generally leads to a complete recovery.
