I've been diagnosed with a left inguinal hernia around 8mm and get sharp pain when lifting heavy things. The specialists said surgery isn't needed right now, but the pain is really bothering me. What can I do to manage this pain better?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
