A member asked:

I have an inguinal hernia, which appeared 2 days ago. there is swelling and tenderness when touched. does this require immediate medical attention?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you have: an inguinal hernia and it becomes tender, you should see a surgeon asap because it could mean incarceration or even strangulation. Enlarged lymph node in the area can mimic this condition, and it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference.
