Is it safe to exercise with inguinal hernia?
human
i've been diagnosed with a bilateral direct inguinal hernia, and i;ve been told it's only in the initial stages. i dont have any pain but there is a bulge in the groin area, which sometimes disappears when i wake up. i am not sure as to whether i should get it operated or not. can i do any exercises right now before the operation? what about jogging?. can u inform me about the cost? also, after the operation, can i exercise/jog/hit the gym ever?

Hi, Maybe after 2 months you can exercise after surgery including gym. It may not be advisable to lift weights and doing strenuous exercises. Better to get the surgery as it will increase over time. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr B. Radhakrishnan. Nair, OBGYN
