Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of 2 inguinal hernia repairs 3 years ago, have developed severe bloating to the point that you looks pregnant, you are 25 years old male. Also suffer from nerve pain in the groin.
Your history is indicating of an intestinal obstruction which may not be related to the the surgery you have undergone.
I would advise you the following.
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position to assess if there is an intestinal obstruction and if present needs surgery to correct the causative agent.
Ultrasound may not be really helpful and on the contrary, CT scan of the abdomen with contrast could have told the relationship with hernia repair.
At surgery also we can be sure about the same.
The nerve pain is usually due to the the nerve entrapment in the scar of the previous surgery.
I find this answer helpful
