You will probably need a small keyhole op Bev ! Not a biggy , just be careful lifting ANYTHING for a month or so after :)

Got a follow up appointment end of April when, I guess, they will tell me if I need an op or not..
Fingers crossed Bev...
Were you told what the likely cause is, or can this happen to anyone for no good reason?
It can happen to anybody, but it can also be congenital and tend to run in families.
I had a. Right side Inguinal done two years ago. Never felt right afterwards. Had a pinch below the scar that moved upwards over the course of six months. Surgeon reckons I must have pulled the stitches and moved or folded one side of the mesh during recovery. Still get a twinge from it even now when climbing or cycling. Bit it's never bulged again so decided not to have it opened up.
The strange thing is I don't have any bulge but apparently that can happen
My father had some sort of hernia so you might be right Geoff that it runs in families
I think mine is pretty small but I guess it could get bigger and give me more grief so maybe sorting it out now would be better
I had my right side inguinal op a few years ago (as already mentioned). I get a bit of an light ache sometimes after cycling or walking a lot but otherwise OK. Before the op my activity was severely restricted as it was extremely uncomfortable. When I mentioned I had one I was surprised how many 'me toos' popped up, they are not uncommon among males.
