    Hernia site pain during menstration?

    In this situation I would consider looking into the possibility that your hernia may have recurred. The hernia pain is worsened at the time of one’s period. I see that commonly. Hernia pain is also worse with bending, which you also describe.

    I recommend you see a general surgeon, preferably the one who repaired your hernias. CT scan would be part of the workup of the examination is suggestive of a hernia recurrence.

    If you are looking for a new surgeon, let us know your location and we can recommend colleagues who we believe can provide you with expert consultation.
