Does anyone here have familiarly with inguinal hernia and the location of this hernia. I decided I am going to get a CT scan of the pelvis to see if I have a hernia. I thought I read on the internet that some hernia may not be noticeable and needs to be identified with a CT scan. Yes a CT scan is expensive unfortunately but I'll still get one.
Because I also have pubic bone pain but don't know if this relates to a hernia.

In my personal experience with such a hernia it presented several symptoms. First, there was pain in both sides of the lower abdomen. And, pain sometimes in the testicles. Also, the lower intestines protruded through lower abdomen wall into the scrotum.
All of the above symptoms can and will cause severe pain in the groin area. If not corrected, this condition can lead to a severe problem with much pain and swell in the scrotum.
The most common remedy for this hernia is surgery with a patch of medical material sewn into the local area of the lower stomach wall. Surgeries will vary from patient to patient. My patch was a material named Gortex similar to the material used to help wick away moisture in hunting boots.

I notice my scrotum has a moderate swelling to it when in cooler temperature. More hard and more inflated than usual in the Scrotum. Can moderate swelling indicate a possibility of a hernia?
I think I had an ultrasound to diagnose hernias, and it was covered by the prepaid in my country.
the surgeon noticed by touching my scrotum, I felt discomfort in that area and lumps in the lower abdomen with pain and difficulty breathing when exercising.
the surgery was a laparoscopy. no scar is noticeable.
It took a while for me to recover to 100%, and being hospitalized for 1 day was not nice for me since I have an overactive bladder and I could not move.
but it is a simple surgery do not worry if you have it.
Did you get a CT scan to find out you had the Hernias?
it was just an ultrasound.
