Hello! Thank you for writing us here.
Hernia is quite painful and only way to treat it is by surgery.
A loop of intistine may pass into the scrotum and because of that, your husband have pain and if not treated, may lead to complications like necrosis of the loop of intestine. I would suggest you to take him to a general surgeon for the results possible.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
