A member asked:
I had surgery for a inguinal hernia repair about 5 1/2 years ago. i'm starting to have the same symptoms as the first one, can it happen twice?

Sure.: Most inguinal hernia repairs are permanent, but you can have a recurrent hernia for many different reasons. But, there are other conditions that have some symptoms similar to an inguinal hernia. Your doctor can probably sort this out pretty quickly with an exam.
