Q Hi, I had inguinal hernia 10 years back & it was surgically repaired using mesh. Last couple of days, I feel discomfort in that area. Initially I thought it could be second tear. But when I checked myself I dont see any bulges. But when I stand I feel more discomfort. Do we have any remedies here where this can be prevented? Regards, Vidya
Since there is no bulge, you may not have a hernia at present. However, it is difficult to comment without examining you once. Please visit your primary care physician for a check-up. Mean while you can include plenty of fibres in your food like fruits, salad, oats,etc to avoid constipation, do not lift heavy weight and do not stand for longer period.
