Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in lower stomach while having a mesh for hernia. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like diarrhea , kidney infection , irritable bowel syndrome , appendix ,gallbladder stone or hernia . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy along with stool test . Doctor may prescribe ornidazole , omeprazzole along with laxative and anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to general surgeon for surgery of hernia . For now avoid lifting heavy object , apply warm compresses on abdomen , eat light and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
