A member asked:
Can i play softball with an inguinal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if: it causes no pain, assuming it is not massive. If you develop pain, this is sign of incarceration, so you should stop whatever you are doing, lie down, and try to reduce it. Then see a surgeon for surgical repair. Hernia truss is of limited value.
