Brief Answer:
Inguinal hernia
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
Generally, inguinal hernias occur due to slight weakness in the muscles supporting the inguinal canal. Patients are usually born with this. It is possible, however, that increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by a cough, or sneeze, or vomiting, could possibly cause or aggraavate this. It would require a great deal of increased intra-abdominal pressure to do this.

Brief Answer:
Follow up
Detailed Answer:
Simple coughs and sneezes, even typical vomiting, would not be enough pressure in an otherwise normal abdominal wall. It would take more like a persistent hacking cough, or persistent retching, and even then, there would most likely have to be a weakness somewhere n the abdominal muscle.
