A member asked:
Are hernia and urinary problems related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They can be: If you have an inguinal hernia, then anything that increases intra abdominal pressure can aggravate the hernia and lake it larger. BPH is a common cause of this if you are straining to urinate. If this is your situation, then the BPH should be treated before a hernia repair.
