Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Hernia is not an urgent surgery unless there is a risk of obstruction and strangulation.
In fact in many areas in world the planned cases are being postponed due to Covid-19. Is this the reason you are delaying surgery?
Please get examined by a General Surgeon to decide which type of hernia that is direct or indirect and to see whether any obstruction is anticipated or not. If examination tells us no chances of complications then you can surely delay for now.
Ultrasound may help in addition to clinical examination.
I hope this answers your query and helps you in decision making.
Feel free to ask for any further relevant queries if you have.
Take care.
Please give feedback.
