Question 2

can sitting upright in office chair for hours aggrevate inguinal hernia?  it seems to be happening to me. i have inguinal hernia on both sides.

Accepted Answer

Inguinal hernia: This type of hernia is more common in men. Standing lifting straining and even sitting upright may aggravate it. If u feel pain in the area, have a bulge which does not reduce with laying down or mild pressure or other discomfort exists then seek medical attention. The only treatment which has long term effectiveness is surgical correction of the hernia. Good luck!

Question 3

my inguinal hernia is getting bigger and painful day by day i sit 8 hours a day in office. are there postures that make it worse and i should avoid?

Accepted Answer

No: You should get it surgically repaired. See a surgeon soon.

Question 4

my right testicle hurts a  lot and it started like 2 hours ago? i'm 18 (no sex) i have an inguinal hernia on the left side? what could it be ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly urgent: Since testicular torsion is on the list of possibilities, and could cause you to lose your testis, please consider seeing a doctor right away.

Question 5

i had inguinal hernia repair on january 18th, 2016. tonight about an hour ago i had a sharp pulling feeling. should i be worried the hernia came back?

Accepted Answer

No: Not unless you see / feel a bulge or pain intensifies.

Question 6

how many hours does inguinal hernia surgery take?

Accepted Answer

: Please direct this question to the surgeon involved in the case. They will know the specifics of the patient need, pre-operative factors, the method used and any other issue that may alter the time involved. There is no one answer.

Question 7

i am urinating only 1/4 cup every hour after an inguinal hernia surgery 4 days ago. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't sound too: bad,  1/4 cup every hour equals 12 cups in 24 hours.  That is more than most normal people urinate.  So you could be okay.  Unless  you are drinking three times that amount of fluid a day.

Question 8

i have a lump that comes on my right hand side of the penis especially when i work long hours or when i stand for long. is this an inguinal hernia?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like it: Without examining you its hard to tell, but it sounds very much like an inguinal hernia is a possibility.  If it is not painful or getting stuck, it is not an emergency.  I would recommend seeing a general surgeon for evaluation.  Elective repair is recommended in order to prevent future complications.

Question 9

i had my left inguinal hernia operated on9/21 at 7.30 am.but still after 56 hours i have very severe burning pain in it, while my doctor told me i may remove my dressing and may take a bath after 48 hours.but honestly it looks like a joke to me.is this se

Accepted Answer

Sounds normal: Pain early after inguinal hernia surgery can feel severe for some men. Use the pain medication as prescribed. Follow your surgeon's instructions or call them if there are problems or questions.

Question 10
