A member asked:
Had inguinal hernia repair w/ mesh ~2 weeks ago. pain and swelling went away mostly but is starting to come back along with a small bulge. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recurrence Unlikely: especially when repaired with mesh ( Still a distant possibility ) , most likely some fluid collection ( serum ) under the skin flap , which will disappear in couple of wks , call your surgeon for follow up care .
