Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Be Concerned About The Burning Sensation In Hernia?
Hello,
I was diagnosed with a small iguinal hernia on my right side in February this year. I had not issues, but I did some physical activity last weekend and their is now a burning sensation coming from that general area and it feels sore.
Usually, when hernia is small, I recommend my patients to wear corset to try to put pressure on hernia, so preventing complications.
I also advise not to go for heavy physical activities that involves abdominal muscles to prevent complications.
At your case, if hernia size is the same and you are only having burning sensation, I advise to wear a corset for few days and avoid physical activity.
If after few days, no improvement will be seen, you can contact a general surgeon to further evaluate your hernia and determine definite solution to it.
Hope it helped! Dr.Albana
