Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
First of all it looks that your weight is less and this may be the reason for you direct inguinal hernia as less protein intake can cause hypoproteinemia thus causing weak muscles and hernia.
Less fiber diet an cause constipation and add on for development of hernia.
Hence I would advise you the following:
High fiber diet.
Sitz bath.
Laxatives and stool softener.
High protein intake.
Get operated for hernia once constipation is corrected.
