Groin hernia surgery, navel pain what situation

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 due to 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 quite far from where you had the surgery. Considering your condition, there could be other reasons that may have caused it. Suggestions: For instance, exposure to cold or severe pain could be contributing factors. Additionally, if the surgeon's habit 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 severe. You should 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.
