Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you are known to have Inguinal Hernia and has recently passed urine involuntarily .
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Do you have obstructive voiding symptoms like frequency, urgency,nocturia etc suggestive of Enlarged Prostate which is very common at this age ?
Though you claim your hernia to be small and symptomless at present should not be neglected as it is most likely to be secondary to Enlarged Prostate which needs to be investigated
Consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis with specific mention of Post Void Residual urine (PVR)
3) Serum PSA.
In the mean while start taking Tomsulosin and Darifenacin once daily till you complete the investigations .
Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
