A member asked:
Is there a safe way treat my groin pain before having surgery for my inguinal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have acute: Pain, you should lie down on your back with your leg crossed. If this doesn't help, you probably need emergency surgery. So, in general, it is better to have the surgery as soon as you start having pain. Consult with surgeon for specific recommendation.
