Seems to be Obstructed right inguinal hernia with uterine prolapse. There is chance of it being femoral hernia but management remains the same. CECT abdomen followed by surgery for both pathologies in one sitting. As already obstructed, mesh should not be used. Consent for resection-anastomosis as duration is 3 days and swelling is tender.
Its a case of right inguinal hernia with prolapse uterus but chances of femoral hernia needs to be investigated.
As the Patient’s condition is stable I dont expect gangrene of bowel! Its irreducible inguinal hernia! Herniorrhaphy should be done! There is Partial Uterine Prolapse! Fothergills Operation and Perineal Repair is the Treatment of choice! I prefer doing it at a later stage, till then a ring can be kept after reducing Uterus in osition!
