I got this too. You don't realize how common a hernia is until it happens to you.

Sounds like some great information here!!! I too am a graduate of JHU. I discovered that I had a hernia back in August of 2022. After talking to 10 doctors, almost all of whom misdiagnosed my symptoms and were fundamentally misguided themselves, I am hoping to meet someone in January of 2023, to finally get some clarity around what's going on. Why does it take so long to get medical attention in the United States? I have no idea. The pain is absolutely real. The solution is just an illusion.

Straight to the point and very informative - thank you.

This is exactly what I’ve got. Going to see my doctor tomorrow.

Excellent surgeon! Great job, Dr. Harris.

Very useful info doctor. Thanks!

Great info doctor! I was diagnosed with a Left Inguinal Hernia a few years ago when I was 28. I'm 30 now but I literally have had this since I was 14 or 15. I kind of get irritated by it sometimes but I'm honestly just use to it because it's been so long and i THANK GOD it doesn't cause me any pain. Doctor told me based off of physical appearance if I wanted to get surgery on it I could but he said since I said it doesn't give me any pain then I can just live with it. It hasn't caused me any issues honestly just was something that scared me before I got it checked out numerous of times.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH I AM FEELING SOME PAIN AND I NEEDED TO KNOW IF THIS IS WHAT I HAVE

I have a inguinal hernia and im thankful because my operation was too successful❤️

What about if you cant get the mesh

good message. doctor

Hernia surgery without mesh lasted over 25 years,with mesh the repair developed abscess three areas one inch each area hernia occurred less than two years latter,my husbands experience.Also pain in testicles ,incision area.

Thank you 😊

Hello Doctor Harris, I hope you get to read these posts. I have an inguinal hernia on my right side, I have no pain and I am able to put pressure on it and it goes back in and stays for a while then shows up again. I do hula hooping with a weighted hula hoop, is it possible that I gave myself a hernia by hula hooping? I like to hula hoop for exercise and I am 71 yo...Thank you in advance for your answer...

does ice help??

Shouldice technique one of the best hernia repairs.

Had surgery 30 years ago. Was 100% fine. It came back last week 😞

I've had an inguinal hernia for about a year. Caused by weight lifting and general wear and tear. I'm having surgery Monday because the pain has gotten bad enough that even walking can ache pretty bad. I had to leave work to go to the hospital to get it checked out and scheduled for surgery. Turned out I have 2 hernias and I can't wait to get them fixed up.

I noticed it when I was 20, I was thinking it was a hydrocele, sadly I have not checked it till now im 26. It’s odd mine hasn’t grown alot since then considering that I done alot of cardio, heavy lifts sometimes but since I got my CT scan and I gotta get surgery

I want to ask....i kind of aware the testicle is not balanced and there is something on the left side of testicle ..but seriously for this four years after aware of it...i don't feel pain or things that make me uncomfortable... should i take procedure or i can just ignore it?...

I had a major operation since than I sit in the bed couple of hours after I woken up I wonder that does it case lower back the way I sit? I was diagnosed with hernia as well.im getting massive lower back pains.in the morning especially I get stiffness. Yesterday I fell down in the kitchen I felt sudden pain on my lower back right side of it.i was thinking even to call 999 but after fee minutes I was managed to get up. I wonder that I get lower back pains is it because of the way I sit in the bed and also does that cause hernia as well? A doctor said I have got hernia on both sides and I need an surgery operation. I'm not cynical but I live on my own if I go ahead with hernia operation than my life would be very difficult. I also have a 3 years old toddlers I wont be able to lift him up. I wonder that they way we sit in the bed after woken up does that cause hernia problems? Last year I admitted to A&E twice this year one. For lower back problems. Any answer would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. X

I disagree completely that "you can return back to work after a few days". I had open inguinal, 3-4 inch cut, and I was walking hunched over and slowly meandering through my home. And even that was a task. Week and a half later and I'm still tender, and dealing with some numbness and sensitive skin the the repair area. Hoping it all comes together in more time, but in my opinion, claiming people are 'back at it' after 2-3 days is reckless.

Thanks for the video i just noticed the symptoms and your video helped me to know what the problem might be, also, why are smokers more prone to reocurrance?

I have an Inguinal hernia. Found out I had a very large ovarian cyst. After total hysterectomy hernia almost completely gone. When my organs shifted to fill in the space, about five to six months after hysterectomy, my hernia came back. Drat. I wonder if I only had effected ovary/cyst removed and nothing else if I'd be ok today. Guess I won't find out. Drat.

I've had this for 21 years and both my family Dr's thought I was making it up... fast forward my CT showed an inguinal hernia and my incompetent Dr said I'm ok since it's small..

Am having hernia what can I do

It’s do with kids 8 to 9 years age ?

Why does mine feel more like a build up of tissue in an even layer over the pelvis on both sides?

Will i be able to hit gym again, cause thats how i got it in 1st place i guess, i am addicted to workout so no way i am gona stop

Dr said can go back to work two days after the surgery? You are Nuts! Probably if your job is to watch grass grow.

I’m on a blood thinner and I also have Alzheimer’s. How long do I need to be off my blood thinner for Da Vinci surgery? Also, how will Anesthesia affect my Alzheimer’s?

doctor says you're muscle are weak and u can have a inguinal hernia if u put strain on body.... what to do how to make muscle strong.....

Mesh doesn't belong in the groin area. Choose a tension free suture approach. Also make sure you actually have a hernia and not a Gilmore's Groin. I had mesh placed in my groin and I don't believe I ever had a hernia. There was no bulge and the area is still in pain. It's a Gilmore's Groin I know it is.

Almost two weeks ago I was operated, and I hope I will not experience those pains again

when i was lifting, i felt my pelvis starting to hurt. i have a bulge on the right side of scrotum, and it doesn’t really hurt, it’s just uncomfortable. If it doesn’t hurt, does that mean I do not have to get surgery?

I'm actually pregnant and have noticed it within the past month. I feel like pregnancy may have caused it maybe because your body goes through alot of hormonal and physical changes. I was confused and my first thought was a hernia but now it's definitely confirmed after this video

please tell me if a woman can be get pregnant after surgery with or without mesh.

Had this type hernia for over 40 years.pain only in heavy lifting, exercise or sometimes a bump. My doctor didn't recommend surgery unless it becomes a bigger issue.

i had recurrent left inguinal hernia ..my second operation has done by a sergon who used mesh 4 days before ..but the size of the injured place remai same (a little soft though)i m worry about it...will its size eliminate ?

I have an inguinal hernia at left side of the abdomen. It is 9mm in size. I had mixed reviews from doctors. Some say i an early phase of hernia and should not be afraid ans some say that i need to stop lifting because it is serious. Should I be afraid about this or continue my lifting?

hello sir

I have it. And it started hurting a little. The doctor recommended to put ice to relief the pain, while I wait for the surgery. Should I do it preventively too?

i have slight pain in the left inguinal region & dragging discomfort in left testicle. There is no bulge whatsoever. I've been living like this for 2 months. Now what is this supposed to mean?

i got my bump above my testicle to the right side and a bump on inside of thigh. Its a bit sensitive to touch. I thought i developed a giant acne pimple cause its sensitive to the touch....but that doesnt make sense. never had an acne this big. So i can only suspect its a hernia...it did occur after i did some squats and alot of jumping exercises. I applied some acne lotion and itch cream...i hope it goes away on its own cause the city i live it has shit quick access to good doctors.

I healed my inguinal hernia without surgery. By choosing anti-imflammatory (gluten-free) diet with intermittent fasting. It is possible without surgery.

Can you climb steps after surgery

Do they itch? Idk if I have 1 it’s like a little lump but it itches every other hour

Had surgery 6 months ago. I think its happened again cause of my heavy lifting job...

Would the pain appear just above the groin area? My left testicle has a buldge or something and i get pain right above the groin area

my hernia might be healing without surgery. i got the hernia Monday and it swelled and by Thursday the swelling went down but there was a little bulge and uncomfort but it keep going in and out when i laid down at night and wake up in the morning. then i searched on youtube for ingernial excercises and did the left leg raising exercise laying down in bed which worked out the muscle where the hernia lays. I was really sore the following morning and the next day i noticed the hernia wasn't going back in anymore. i laid in bed on my side and that popped it back in and now its not comming back out. in two more days i will continue the excerises to further strengthen the muscles and close the hole eventually

Is it normal if I cant get "excited" while having inguinal hernia? I am wating for an operation atm.

Yes and it’s the mesh that can cause years of pain!

what are the symptoms in women? why don't you talk about that ? Is it harder to tell if a female has this kind of hernia especially if it is small?

I had the laparoscopy procedure done for inguinal hernia when I was 7 years old. Both right and left side. Boy did it hurt when I was conscious again. However, im 25 now, and I fear that maybe I might have a recurrence of hernia. Im very athletic, and play a variety of sports, and recently started working out again. Mainly just push ups, and dumbbell lifting. However, today I did no physical activity, but I feel movements around my groin, and testicle area, and so im quite concerned. Very little pain, but not enough to call it pain, so I guess some "discomfort" would be more accurate to describe it. However, throughout my day so far, it comes in go, and last no longer than a minute. Still just some movements basically around my groin, and testicle area, but again im kind of concerned. I'll wait for 48 hours at least then ill declare to go for a check up. Since this is the first time I felt this way, ill play the waiting game. Maybe just my body being weird today.

Wasn't Paying Attention One Day And Doorknob Hit My Lower Right Abdomen. Now I Feel Some Sort Of Heaviness But Can't find any bulge. However When I Touch My Abdomen It Hurts A Little. Is It Possible I Might Have A Hernia?

Will the bulge disappear or diminish considerably after the surgery?

What's the difference between the Fat inguinal and actual intestine inguinal

how much does it cost to have a regular surgery?

Can inguinal hernia cause pelvic pain?

In the case of a reducible inguinal hernia, why is it not possible to push/massage the hernia hole closed after the intestine is back inside the wall? And how is it that the intestine continually falls back to the same hole? Can it not be massaged away to another area?

4-5 cm wth..my scar is 15 cm long

I have a hernia as well don't worry it happens
