What Causes Pain In The Groin Area After Hernia Surgery?
My grandfather had hernia surgery 8 days ago on his right side and today after lunch he started having pain In his groin on the left side. He had hernia surgery on the left side 2 years ago, in the same area, now a hard lump has formed that has begun to have a stinging/burning sensation which has lasted a few hours. He is uncomfortable and not sure if it s gas or more serious issue. I feel it could be another hernia. Any thoughts Thank you
