Post hernia surgery question- still having some discomfort

Yes, go see the doctor. It’s not a “Don’t want to go to the doctor for nothing” issue when it comes to a hernia.

You don’t want blood flow stopping in this area.

Go to the fricking doctor.

I’ve had two Inguinal hernias.

I found out that I had a hernia about 12 years ago but hasn’t bothered me so haven’t done anything yet.

I’ve heard countless stories in those 12 years about routine surgeries having problems. Makes me wonder if really that frequent or if I just notice them more. Now leaning toward doing nothing as long as possible.

I didn’t have anything protruding. When it started I just had intense pain. First thought was maybe kidney stones.
All my doctors are women and I was a little reluctant to have them feel all around and not find any lump in that area.
I know most surgeries will have a little lingering effect.
Still haven’t had the guts to start back sit-ups. May never.

Mine lasted almost 2 years.
Every so often I still get a slight feeling of tightness down there, especially after exercise.
Was told by a surgeon years ago that it is normal, especially when mesh repair is involved.

I recently bailed on a inguinal hernia surgery so thanks for validating my worries! I struggled for almost a year after a vasectomy so I'm probably prone to worse case scenarios. Hope you get to feeling better
