Advice for Inguinal Hernia.

Have you developed a condition called inguinal hernia? Well, if you have you should not rush to the doctor for an operation because such an operation has now been shown to lead to complications such as chronic pain and sexual dysfunction. An acquintance of mine who had undergone such an operation confirmed to me that he no longer could achieve an erection. The advice that doctors now give to patients is that you should live with it for as long as you can; they say it may take as much as 20 years before the problem gets really serious. It appears that if you lie on your back or on your left side the hernia goes down and stays down for a period. Coupled with an appropriate diet and exercises to strengthen your stomach muscles you should be okay.
