abdominal pain,discomfort

I am a 33 yr.old male.I've been having lower left abdominal pain for several weeks.sometimes I experience a general crampy feeling over the entire abdominal area.Often it is an ache or a feeling of pressure in the lower left abdomine.Last week I felt very bloated and the feeling of pressure was more extreme.A visit to the Dr.revealed no blood in stool or urine.He said I had an "incomplete" hernia.Can this cause discomfort across the entire abdominal area or should I seek further advice?Also,is it possible to repair an incomplete hernia or should I just wait until it pokes through?
