A member asked:
How is it decided if one should go for inguinal hernia or wait it out? mine appears small but painful (tolerable mostly).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgical evaluation.: Recommend assessment by a general surgeon. It is of concern that you are experiencing pain. Does tissue ever bulge out? Don't know what your definition of small is. See a surgeon. Take care.
