A member asked:

If hernia patients do any sexual working it is dangerous for their health?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It depends whether or not the work causes the hernia to become painful. Use common sense, and if it causes hernia pain, then it might be causing more damage. Hope this helps!
