Hello!

Thank you for the query.

As you have had hernia on the right side, there is a possibility that the same issue is on the other side. Please note that hernia indicates weak connective tissue. Some persons have it weaker and are prone to hernia.
The other possible reasons of lower left abdominal pain are diverticulitis (possible if you have constipation), urinary tract infection (frequent urinating, burning while urinating should be present), ovaries cyst (if you are female).

I suggest you to have some basic tests. Abdominal ultrasound, blood work, urine analysis should be done at first. If diverticulitis is possible, colonoscopy should be considered.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
