A member asked:
I have an insitionel hernia from previous procedures no pain but should i have it seen to?

Yes: Incisional hernias can enlarge, incarcerate, or strangulate, just like any other hernia. If it is not causing any symptoms, it is not urgent, but show it to your surgeon anyway. In the meantime, an abdominal binder is a temporary fix.
