if you have an inguinal hernia get it fixed. there is no reason to take the risk of having an incarcerated hernia. an inguinal hernia in spite of its close proximity to your penis and testicles will not reduce or change your fertility.
will an inguinal hernia affect fertility? it is close to my penis and testicles sometimes painful. i'm pretty worried. i'm 21 year old active male. i just noticed this within the past week so it's kind of worrying me.
