Brief Summary

There are lots of inguinal hernia risk factors determined in the literature. But the relationship between nutritional status and inguinal hernia were not examined yet. In this study the investigators evaluated the constipation scale and food consumption of the inguinal hernia patients. This Case-Control study was performed between March 2018- March 2019.

The age, body mass index, alcohol and smoking habits, daily activity, frequency of food consumption and the Wexner constipation scoring were examined using questionnaire were noted.
