Hello Sir/Madam Whenever I am lifting something heavy, after a few minutes am sensing a pain in groin region, I personally suspect that as Hernia. Even my father also had similar problem but in his late 40's. As the problem for him became too heavy, he has undergone a surgery and doctors have removed that bulgy part. I am getting pain in the same region now, but I cannot sense any bulgy thing when I touch there. I want to know whether this type of hernia is hereditary? And one more thing is what precautions should I follow to get rid of this pain, as it is really difficult to avoid lifting some small weights like a bucket of water or what ever. Can this be cured with some medicine?
