Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
If you had mentioned the age of your husband, it would've been very useful.
If he's above 50 years, he must see a Urologist,before the hernia surgery.His symptoms of discomfort, dribbling and wetting his underwear, all suggest, he may have a prostate gland enlargement. In that case, the hernia should not be operated now. Once prostate gland treatment is started, the Urologist will decide about the hernia surgery.Burning sensation may be due to a urinary infection, for which, he should get urine routine and culture test done.
