    I am a female 58 and had a lower right small inguinal hernia repaired open and with mesh 14 months ago. I am now having the same right side pain i had before the surgery. The pain started a month ago and for the last two weeks I have had severe bladder pain and frequent urination. Can’t sleep, up to use the restroom about 7 times a night. No UTI, waiting to get into a Urologist, they said it will take more than a month to see the urologist. Can this bladder issue also be related to the hernia?
    Scared out of my mind, had a pelvic ultrasound and want to know if this can be related and should I ask my internal med dr for any other tests while waiting painfully to see the urologist.

    HI. What is the update on your status? Bladder irritation from hernia repair can occur but is rare.

    Sorry for the reposting. I haven’t slept in a week due to pain. I guess I shouldn’t say IC, because I have not been diagnosed with that. i am just curious if I could have inflamed the area where the mesh is from my surgery, I was doing some yard work before this started. Can that irritation move into the bladder area and cause the bladder pain by any chance?
