What Causes Pricking Sensation In The Groin After Placing A Mesh Post Hernia Surgery?
It feels like I can feel the mesh or the tack or suture they used on the mesh Inside of my groin. It feels like something is poking me. Is that normal? How long should I wait before talking to my dr about it. I had left inguinal hernia surgery 7 days ago. Went to my follow up visit yesterday and dr said my incision is healing nicely.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pricking sensation is generally experienced during the course wound healing and is nothing much to be worried about. If the site of operation is clean and free from infection, then the wound should heal by about 10 days. Kindly follow the instructions given by your doctor and do the necessary follow-up as advised.
