What is the situation when the navel hurts after inguinal hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

Left inguinal hernia surgery (laparoscopic) two months ago, gently pressing 3 cm below the navel on the left side causes pain. Is it caused by activity, or is it a problem with the mesh trimming?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your situation, it should not be closely related to your hernia surgery. After all, this location is far from the site of your surgery. Considering your condition, there could be other reasons causing it. Suggestions: For example, exposure to cold or severe pain could be contributing factors. Additionally, if the doctor's preference is to make the operation port for laparoscopy in this area, that could also be a cause. However, this area generally does not contain serious organs, so the issue is not significant. Please pay attention to preventing cold exposure and avoid getting chilled. It is usually manageable and can be relieved. You can contact us again if needed.
