A member asked:
7 weeks after inguinal hernia surgery if i dont wear tight underwear i feel strange pull in inner thigh and heaviness around surg area. is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: there will still be some residual swelling and scar tissue in the area of the hernia repair, as well as potentially some injury to the nerve in the area. This will take several months, up to 6 months, before these symptoms go away.
