i have a hernia

[Phaded]

alright checked today the groin area when i was in the shower and i have a small lump about the size of a small marble on my right groin area.. doesn't hurt when touched and i dont have any pain.. what i'm wondering is if this is curable without surgery .. (rest) and how long will i have to take off from lifting.. or could i still stick with some light lifting.. this freaking sucks..

NO, if you have a hernia it will NOT go away no matter how much rest and recovery you do

But if you are like me and have a very mild one it may not become a real problem for YEARS

have it checked out man, hernias require surgury, i had 2, best to get it checked if real small and dont bother you they will prob. let it go until it becomes a prob, or gets bigger only real threat of hernias is if intestine goes through the the hole and gets stuck, you will KNOW if that happens you would be in severe pain then you would need surgury right away my second one i had for almost 2 yrs b4 i had surgury, the strain from lifting will slowly make hole bigger. see a doc though have em do a sonagram good luck man hope its nothing

Bro get that shit fixed, DO NOT WAIT, the longer the harder it will be to fix and more complication down the line. Get surgery and from an experienced surgeon who does hernia ops yearly. Also if u can, get the hernia prolene mesh system to repair the hernia youll be glad u did. It fixes the hernia with virtually no chance of recurrence. Thier are no perfect repairs but the prolene hernia system is the way to go. U should also research some of this online like about repair types and issues dealin wit hernias. Also at the time of your surgery, you should be around your ideal bodyweight or pretty lean because that makes the surgery easier with less complication. After surgey, wait about 4 weeks and then go back into the weights light and add like 10 lbs gradually a week to all your lifts. Try not and fuck up the repair as it will cost u down the line. Dont lift heavy after surgery and eat alot and take yur vitamins and protein as this will help healin. Also, build your strength bak up again dont start off with heavy ass weight after the surgery. Trust me bro, Im tellin you this cause my brother had surgery for a hernia in sep'04 and now hes back into the weights and stronger than ever. Before surgery he could only squat 225, now afterwards, he squeattin damn near 300. Be patientt pro and get it fixed, and no hernias will not go away. THE ONLY CURE IS SURGERY.

Termie, I think you should get that hernia repaired.....

The longer you wait the more potential harm you could do......it could bust open in the gym and then you'd have a bulge stickin' out of your abdomen, not to mention the intense pain.

Surgery, Term.

No its not. Just lift lightly until the surgery and wait about a month(two months to be safe) and go back gradually like I told you. Youll be stronger and bigger than ever. Just be patient, I know its hard, my bro went through the same thing.

I let mine go for 15 years. If there is no pain I would wait, but that's just me. On the other hand when I did get both fixed, I was only out 8 weeks. I stayed on and lowered my doses. When I started up again in only took 3 weeks to get back to where I had left off.

Exactly....

So in the long run, 8 weeks downtime didn't hurt you.....

Actually I ended up getting checked out by 3 different doctors and 2 of them said it was definitely the Epididymitis (an STD) that was causing my intense pain...And after a few MONTHS of heavy antibitotic treatment the pain subsided...

But I WAS out of the gym for over a month with that

My hernia is VERY mild and they said if it is not bothersome then I could wait for years to get it taken care of...
Its all the STD's that have caused me ALOT more problems than my hernia

I know it's none of my business, but since you posted it here on the open forum........WHY THE FUCK DON'T YOU COVER YOUR COCK?

Am I missing something here, Termie?

You're a smart guy, I don't understand this.

Bro, I waited for a year before I had surgery and mine got BAD. The sooner the better. The smaller the incision and repair area the less time to recover.

i just had a nurse that my mom knows check it and she said its def not a hernia its a hard ass lump she said hernias are usually soft.. she said its prob. an abcess from shaving that area..
