Patient's question:
After the divorce, I found out that my husband has a hernia, although it hasn't recurred. Does a hernia in men interfere with fertility if one wants to have children?Doctor's answer:
Males with a hernia will never interfere with fertility. However, if the hernia recurs repeatedly and sometimes causes discomfort and obvious pain, it is best to have it surgically removed. Hernia surgery is a relatively simple procedure, and after the surgery, it is important to pay attention to recovery, minimize physical activity, avoid excessive exertion, and eat easily digestible foods. Hernias should be treated as soon as possible.
