A member asked:
I had a ct scan done for a possible second inguinal hernia. the results showed fatty tissue pressing through. should i have surgery for this?

Only if you: have symptoms, such as pain or cosmetic disfigurement because of its size. It is usually safe to defer hernia repair surgery until the hernia becomes symptomatic.
