Ingulair hernia
by hambone7403, Oct 19, 2008 11:50AM
About 1 yr ago I went in for a routing physical and my Dr noticed that I had a Hernia. He told me to watch it but was not overly concerned at the time. I have also had a problem with urinating alot for about the last year. Recently I went back into the dr and told him I was having alot more pain in my groin area(left side) and down into my left testicle. He sent me to the hospital to have a ultra sound done where the lady doing my test stated I had a ingulair hernia. I was wondering if this hernia could be the cause of my frequent urinating and also lower back pain. My Dr has had me taking prazosin for about the last year now without much help.

The hernia may have only an indirect impact on the back pain. Due to the symptoms in the groin, you may be adapting by hunching over a bit and hence causing more strain on the back. The same may be said with the frequent trips to the toilet. A full bladder may cause more discomfort to the hernia, so there is a tendency to empty the bladder earlier. Discuss the symptoms with the doctor at length, there may or may not be some other problems present. Stay positive.
