I am person who has undergone hernia repair (left side inguinal hernia) in the year 2006. That time I could feel and see the bulge when I cough or sneeze. After the surgery it became allright. before surgery I asked doctor to put the mesh on both sides since my abdominal muscles may be weak. Doctor replied that it is against ethics to put a mesh on the side where there is no sign of hernia. when it come that time we can repair. Now for last six months i am feeling a a pain on my right side of the lower abdomen just above penis. I cannot see any bulges on the skin but i can feel something is moving inside when I turn sometimes on bed. So please advise is this is a symptom of hernia.
