The coughing bit increases abdominal pressure which will make the hernia more pronounced and as for the turn your head bit, well the doc just doesnt want to get coughed in his face. While the spermatic cord does travel though the inguinal canal, women do indeed have an inguinal canal as well. The main difference being the round ligiment of the uterus travels though it instead of the spermatic cord for obvious reasons.

So, Dr. Shaft, how do you know all these things? That was a pretty technical post you made there. Physiologically and anatomically correct! I am impressed. Would like to check me and Redeye for a hernia? hee hee.

My dear doctor, this is starting to remind me of the now defunct pilot pickup thread and the wonderful banter that went on there with calcapt and his posse. Unfortunately, HSLD will probably push me out of his plane at 33,000 feet without a parachute if I try to resurrect the good old days.

She probably is, they're always grabbing or squeezing the boobs...
