It is now considered that it is better not to have surgery if a hernia is small and painless. Up to 30 percent of groin hernia operations can lead to long-term pain or disability.Nowadays it's a question of weighing up the pros and cons of living with a hernia compared with the risk of the surgery going wrong. If a hernia is causing no problems, it can be safely left alone.If you have a reducible hernia (this means that the hernia can be pushed all the way back in) you may benefit from wearing a hernia support. You should choose one that is guaranteed to securely hold the hernia in all positions of the body and during all activities. Keeping a hernia in may prevent it from getting larger, and some individuals have reported that small hernias have disappeared.

Have you considered ?
Have you considered having the hiatal hernia treated? It seems that every complaint that you have can be related to the hernia. Certain movements that increase abdominal pressure and eating can cause part of the stomach to slide up through the hernia and cause pain. If you belch, it relieves the pressure and temporarily fixes the hernia. The only way to find permanent relief is to seek treatment for the hernia.

What can happened if you have a hernia beside your ball sack?
This is likely an inguinal hernia - one that follows a small canal made by the testes descending into the scrotum during development. If you have a hernia it will most likely hurt like crazy - the worst case scenario is called strangulation - where the hernia pushing through cuts off its own blood supply and the tissue begins to die. Hernias are mainly composed of small intestinal tissue and if this begins to die it could have serious consequences. The surgical treatment for a hernia is now a very simple, routine operation. The muscle it is pushing through is cut, the hernia placed back inside the abdomen and a small piece of strong mesh is sewn into the area under the skin. This mesh reinforces the area the hernia pushed through and stops it happening again. If you have a hernia you should see a doctor - they see tons of them so there's nothing to worry about!
