Inguinal hernia - herniorrhaphy
Is it normal and not a risk for recurrence to have a pulling and pricking sensation at the incision site on straining like with a full bladder and prolonged standing after herniorrhaphy (no mesh was placed since mesh is not usually used for females) for female bilateral inguinal hernia years after surgery?

Firstly mesh hernioplasty is the gold standard method of treatment for hernia repair irrespective of sex of the patient.
There is no guideline saying that you have to do herniorhapphy for females and plasty for males
Herniorhapphy is done for pediatric cases
Secondly though pricking sensation might be an outcome of some local nerve entrapment or trauma during surgery it should have occured soon after surgery.
Pulling sensation with full bladder or on prolonged standing might lead to herniation of bowel loops because of increased intra abdominal pressure or due to gravity respectively and thus might point to early recurrence
Next Steps
however a recurrence can be confirmed only on examination. hence it would be a wise choice to get examined by some surgeon
