A member asked:

I believe that i have a hernia in my pelvis about 2 inches from the hipbone. would it be advisable to repair it before i get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam: It would be advisable to start with an exam to confirm that it is a hernia. The decision to repair a hernia prior to pregnancy should be based on the type and size of the hernia and this can only be determined by an exam. Hope this helps.
