PVPP,

On physical exam, your doctor should have noticed something, as symptoms would include a lump in the groin or upper thigh, and discomfort. Hernias in general are only operated on if there is discomfort and to prevent complications such as incarceration and strangulation. It is usually elective surgery, so surgery typically will not be done unless it is strangulated.

Reply to Annie's Post: will the mesh they placed interfere with a future laparoscopy?

PVPP,

As your doctor and surgeon will know your complete medical history, any scopes used for laparoscopy will be placed in an area that will not interfere with the mesh. As time goes by, tissue will also grow around the mesh to support it.
