A member asked:
Is it normal to still have numbness from a femoral hernia repair after a year has gone by?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No: Numbness after inguinal and femoral hernia repair is common. However, the duration of numbness in and around the groin and inner thigh are dependent upon a key factor. That is, whether or not your surgeon purposefully divided a small nerve branch. Some surgeons do this to avoid the much worse complication of chronic pain. If your surgeon divided your nerve, you will always have numbness.
