Inguinal Hernia. Suggested Surgery. Options Other Than Surgery?
My son lives in Florida and just called me telling me he has developed an inguinal hernia and is being told he<br>probably needs surgery. He is very stressed about it and worried about losing time at work. He is not overweight<br>works out every day he is off work, is in great shape. Goes cycling on his bike up to 20 miles a day so it makes<br>a person wonder why he has developed this problem. But could it be he is stressing his body by working out<br>too hard on his days off? He is a Respiratory Supervisor at a hospital walking a lot on his job of 12 hr shifts.<br>What are the best suggested ways of repair for his inguinal hernia? Reply to YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
As he is having inguinal hernia, he might require hernia repair surgery.
His nature of work is like this that he is cycling 20 miles a day might have given this problem.
consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
