How much can an inguinal hernia in men hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Most inguinal hernias in men will cause mild local aching pressure at times. If a hernia becomes large and incarcerated, this type of hernia can be very firm groin swelling and painful and need emergency medical evaluation.
