What Causes Diarrhea With History Of Hernia Surgery?
prior to my recent hernia surgery I experienced diarrhea for a couple of months. Right after the surgery my stools were finally normal. Serveral days ago I started with diarrhea again and no normal stools. Could this mean I might have a hernia still?

unlikely that the diarrhea is related to the hernia or possibility of hernia recurrence. what may have happened if you took pain medications after your hernia repair, those medications can be constipating which would have formed your stool, you may now be back to "your normal". Try increasing fiber to bulk the stool and immodium as needed
