A member asked:
Can you have kids when you have hernia
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe, but...: Hernias come in all shapes and sizes... not to mention different locations. That means seeing one's Ob-Gyn doctor (assuming the hernia is in the abdominal wall, groin, labia majora, or upper inner thigh) and getting examined to see if it would be ok to have a pregnancy or be better to fix the hernia first. The doctor can discuss what might happen at the hernia site during a pregnancy.
