Question

I'm 30, unmarried, and was diagnosed with a groin hernia 9 months ago. Right now, there's no pain, just a bulge. I have a few concerns first, is open surgery or laparoscopic better for this? Second, if I don't get surgery, could it affect my sex life? And if I do get surgery, does it matter if it's before or after marriage will it impact my sexual function? Also, can I still work out, run, and jump if I don't get surgery? And after surgery, how soon can I get back to gym and sports?
