A member asked:

Will hernia operation. help me walk better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it should: Most men get hernia repairs for symptoms, including pain with walking, lifting, pushing, etc.. If you have groin pain on the side of the hernia now, then you should walk better once you have healed up from surgery.
