NHS: Inguinal Hernia Repair
An inguinal (pronounced "ingwanal") hernia is the most common type of hernia. The hernia can appear as a swelling or lump in your groin, or as an enlarged scrotum (the pouch containing the testicles). The swelling may be painful.
The lump will often appear when you are lifting something and disappear when you lie down.
NHS: Acute pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition where the pancreas becomes inflamed over a short period of time.
Most people with acute pancreatitis improve within a week and experience no further problems, but severe cases can have serious complications and can even be fatal.
Acute pancreatitis is different to chronic pancreatitis, where the inflammation of the pancreas persists for many years.
