Yes: You can do any activity that doesn't cause you pain, so regulate your own choice of activity. Surgeons recommend repairing inguinal hernias if they are causing you discomfort. Most surgeons limit you from activities like lifting and jumping rope for 6 weeks after a surgical repair.

Depends: If it hurts, take it easy. May need to see a general surgeon for a consultation. In general, it should be activity as tolerated.
