Surgery
Posted on 2/21/19 at 10:23 pm to Teauxler
It’s a tear of the aponeurosis that connects the obliques to the pelvis, or a tear in the ligaments around the groin. It’s not really a hernia, in the true sense.
Treatment is like most strains/tears to ligaments or muscles: rest, ice (for 48 hours, then heat), anti-inflammatory meds. Usually takes a few weeks to start to feel better.
Many people get surgery to “repair” it, but it just makes them rest for a few weeks to recover from the surgery. If pain persists after a few weeks, then you can think of surgery, as the tear may be extensive enough to lead to a real hernia.

I had what was diagnosed as one a few years back. I was playing pickup basketball several times a week. There was nothing they could do to treat it. I was told to buy some compression underwear, I was just wearing regular boxers when balling. I did that, and it went away not too long later. I don’t know if that was just coincidence. Ive not had any problems or lasting issues since.
I remember it being pretty painful. Caused me to go to the doctor at like 26, which was a rarity at that age

Wife just found out she has an inguinal hernia. Not excited about getting it fixed.

Interesting, more common in men, unless she has some risk factors. Inguinal and not femoral?
Anyway, look for someone who does it laparoscopically. TEP vs TAPP. I like both. TAPP goes into the abdomen to fix it, and can fix both inguinal and femoral. TEP stays in the fat layer between the skin and abdominal cavity. Both use mesh. Also ask about type of tacks used to hold the mesh, non-metal is the way to go.
And if offered, get a TAP block (transversus abdominal plane) with Exparel. It’s a nerve block using numbing medicine that is slow release (lasts 48-72 hours, which is when the post-op pain is the worst).
Expect no heavy lifting (nothing more than 10-15 pounds) for 6 weeks.
**TEP = totally extraperitoneal; TAPP = transabdominal pre-peritoneal
If you’d like to look them up
