A member asked:
Does having a "weak spot" in the inguinal area mean i will get a hernia soon? 2 doc's both said no hernia. scheduled a ultrasound for some reason? why
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hernia: They might be attempting to get you to do an ultrasound with valsalva or straining so that a potentially small or occult hernia might be seen.
