I had a surgery for a hernia about 10 months ago for a
right side inguinal hernia. It was an open procedure
using the mesh.
Anyway, aboout 6 weeks ago. About 2-3 days after I was
lifting weights, I started having pain in the inguinal
region on the right side. I went to see my surgeon about it
and he told me it wasn't serious. About 2 weeks after that,
I noticed a pea-sized bulge with a slight cough impulse that
reduced when I layed down. I went back to the surgeon and he
said it was a small hernia and he wanted to fix it using the
laproscope hernia repair procedure. I decide to get the
thing fixed at a hernia center instead. However, when the
surgeon at the hernia center looked at it, he said it was a
swollen vein and it wasn't medically sound to operate.
It's been three weeks sinceI went the the hernia specialty
center and the pea-sized bump is still there. Any
suggestions? Should I just stop worrying about the bump and
ignore the slight discomfort is causes?
Thanks
