Yes: Have a check up by the surgeon. Hernias can come back. If you have a patch they can get infected.

See a doctor: Most of the time, pain after inguinal hernia repair is because of stitches used during the operation. See your surgeon or your primary medical doctor to get checked out. Often, a simple injection can help with the pain.
