See your doctor.: If there is no visible evidence of a bulge, then an inguinal hernia can only be diagnosed by physical exam or by certain x-rays, such as a CAT scan. If you are having symptoms in that area, I would recommend that you see your doctor. Good luck.

Vague: Was the hernia repaired when found and how??? MRI of the lower abdomen and physical exam the most definitive way. See Gen. Surgeon
