A member asked:
Can having hernia repair surgery cause problems with the prostate? i had inguinal open/mesh surgery 2 months ago and now i have prostatitis.

No: The mesh does not come into contact nor does it lie near the prostate. Of the reportagle mesh broblems, prostate is not even on the list.

Not normally: Unless your prostate either was exposed during the surgery or incidentally injured, i would not expect prostate issues after a hernia surgery.
