Frequently Asked Questions
An inguinal hernia isn’t necessarily dangerous by itself, but if your intestines bulge through the hole and get stuck (called incarceration), it can become a life threatening condition.
Usually not. Hernias will either stay the same size or more commonly, grow gradually over time. This can take weeks. months or even years.
If you have pain or bulging, you probably need to have the hernia repaired. If the hernia isn’t bothering you at all, you can wait until it is causing you discomfort to have it repaired.
Some patients who do not want to have surgery or are not healthy enough to undergo surgery can wear a truss or hernia support belt.
