A member asked:

How long will i experience pressure in my hernia inguinal repair area. is it normal?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Hard to know, but...: ...you might want to check to be sure the repair was complete and that the hernia has not recurred, at least a little.

Check with surgeon: who can give you the best answer. If a lot of pain or getting more pain see your surgeon for evaluation.
