Hernia repair: The risk/benefit analysis is in favor of surgical repair. Your symptoms are likely related to the hernia, and can progress. If a loop of bowel gets inside the hernia sac, you could have a serious health problem. Okay to get a surgery consult. Take a friend with you. Hernia repair surgery is safe, effective and durable.
