Even though i have no bulge, why do i feel pressure in my inguinal hernia repair area when i sit or lie down. my surgery was about 2 weeks ago.

Normal: You will feel a variety of sensations there most likely for 6-8 weeks, during the proliferative phase of wound healing. It is normal, and usually doesn't limit activity due to pain after 2-6 weeks on average. As long as the wound looks good, your fine. You can always have it checked out by your surgeon to be sure. Hope that helps!
