Kristie,
There is really no reason to be overly concerned about
a hernia unless it is incarcerated...meaning having bowel
trapped in it. Often bowel does go through a hernia, but
it is not considered incarcerated unless it is trapped there.
I have had a hernia the size of a football surrounding my
urostomy since 1998. I do have pain in that vicinity,
but since it is not causing an obstruction I can and
have lived with it. No since putting yourself further
at risk, unless you absolutely have to. Of course,
this is my personal opinion and my experience. You
need to be able to make your decision based on what
you know about yourself.

I have a hernia next to my belly button. I just went and saw a highly
regarded specialist on pelvic pain and adhesions. He didn't seem to be
bothered by it. Can I get some opinions please? It is because it sits
high and my pain in low in the groin?
thanks
Kristie
