Hello, Masturbation does not lead to inguinal hernia. Inguinal hernia occurs if the wall of the inguinal canal is weak, weak muscles or due to chronic pressure due to obesity, etc. Excessive masturbation if you are obese or have weak inguinal canal may cause inguinal hernia as you are using a different technique to masturbate. You are advised to masturbate normally to prevent complications later. If obese lose weight and maintain healthy weight. Do regular exercise and walking. If you are having some discomfort, you should get clinically examined by a Urologist. For relief, from pain or discomfort you can take analgesic or pain-relieving medicines after food. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
