I'm a 30-year-old active guy who plays sports and my wedding is coming up in April 2022. Just found out I have small bilateral inguinal hernias. Wondering if I should get the surgery done now or if it's okay to wait until after the wedding since I don't want it to affect my big day or recovery

It's generally recommended to repair bilateral inguinal hernias, even if they are small, due to the risk of complications like strangulation. However, the timing of the surgery can be discussed with your surgeon based on your individual needs and priorities.

I've been having some issues since my hernia operation in July. After taking a month off to rest, I went back to work in September, but now, a few months later, I'm feeling pain again in the same spot where the mesh was placed. Could it be because of extra work or maybe the cold weather affecting it? What should I do about this?

it takes about 3 to 4 months to complete absorption of suture material
