There are several types of hernias, and they can be located in different areas of the body, including the groin, upper and lower abominal walls, etc. Generally, though, it is when either an organ or muscle tissue pushes through either another organ/tissue or an opening in the body. They can be very painful, and often you will be able to see or feel the lump under the skin. Hernias will never get better on their own, and can only get worse over time; and some may even become life-threatening. The good thing, though, is that many types of hernias can be repaired with laproscopic surgery, which is out-patient. For the more serious cases, surgeons may even use Gore-Tex to repair the tissue, and when it heals, will be even stronger than the original.

If you believe that you may have a hernia, my advice is to see a dr ASAP and have it diagnosed. The quicker it's caught, the easier the repair may be. Good Luck....

DANGIT MAN! I wish i had a damn timemachine and i can warp myself back! Now i gotta pay money for surgery i'm only 15 and my mom doesnt even know that i have this pain.

Get checked by a Dr. And talk to your mother.
No better advice than that!~

Dont mess with it! It may just be a pulled muscle but why take that risk. An inguinal hernia can be VERY serious, from testicle death to a strangled intestine (deadly), so get to a doc asap. If its nothing, then you have nothing to worry about. If it is something, the sooner it is treated, the easier it is.

No that is what they call an urban legend!
I still think you should have it checked.

I was born with double hernia (both sides of groin) cos i was born premature. My intestines were coming thru my abdominal wall! It wasn't operated on till i was 7. It didn't cause me problems, in fact no-one noticed anything till i was 6. Now i have a bad feeling that the stitches inside me have come loose or something cos occaisonally , when i do lots of running, or i coff or sneeze, i get a shot of pain underneath my operation scars. It only happens bout 4 times a year (this pain) so is it worth troubling a doctor with? Cud i just b paranoid?
