welcome to Health care magic.

1.Yes it is possible, that it is related to the hernia post operative.
2.During the operation there is a mesh placed, when there is inflammation / infection to the site, similar symptoms are seen.
3.When bowel / momentum get strangulated there will be similar pains.
4.If you are my patient i would have examine and ask for ultrasound abdomen to see if there is any defect (hernia ), presence of any inflammatory / infective changes, at the same time if any other causes.
5.Mostly the treatment of the choice is operative.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
