Ingenuial Hernia's, any info?

Question

Some day's i suffer from sharp stabbing pains, like today! And other day's this pain seem's to ease. Is this normal for a Ingenuial Hernia? The pain is around were the Hernia is, but when i saw the Surgeon 2 week's ago, he suggested the Hernia was not deemed big enough, to be causing me so much pain! Which beg's the question, what is causing the pain, if it's not my Hernia? He ordered me for an Ultrasound Scan, but that's gonna be another 10 week's away! So in the mean time i have to suffer! Don't know if it's me being paranoid, but think the hernia may have got slightly bigger too! Gonna head back to Doc's, or hospital, later this week, if still not right! What use that will, been pretty useless so far! But in the mean time, can anyone help me on here, please?

Answer 2

nguinal hernias occur when soft tissue — usually part of the intestine — protrudes through a weak point or tear in your lower abdominal wall. The resulting bulge of this common condition can be painful — especially when you cough, bend over or lift a heavy object.

In many people, the abdominal wall weakness that leads to an inguinal hernia occurs at birth when the abdominal lining (peritoneum) doesn't close properly. Other inguinal hernias develop later in life when muscles weaken or deteriorate due to factors such as aging, strenuous physical activity or coughing that accompanies smoking. Although far more men than women have inguinal hernias, no one is immune — including infants, pregnant women and older adults.

Not necessarily dangerous in themselves, inguinal hernias can lead to life-threatening complications. For this reason, your doctor is likely to recommend surgical repair of a hernia that's painful or becoming larger.

The good news is that it's not the same hernia operation your father may have had with a large abdominal incision, a long hospital stay and weeks of immobility. Instead, many inguinal hernias now can be successfully repaired with a technique that uses several small incisions, leading to a faster, less painful recovery.
