    Years of inconclusive groin pain on right side. Maybe swelling? Maybe Hernia?

    Dr. Towfigh,

    Thanks for your reply. Symptoms (pain and sensitivity located mostly over pudental nerve sometimes into genital area started 1 year after last surgery in 2013 which was lightweight mesh placed to reinforce a light overlay done in 2010.

    I am trying to better understand how you determine if a hernia is present or not, or if there is some sort of nerve problem that is not a hernia. I am in Colorado Springs and looking for a hernia specialist who really knows how to diagnose these issues.

    Is the ultrasound the best imaging for this?

    Also would your book be helpful for patients without medical background?

    Thank you for this forum.
