This episode is now up on Dr. Towfigh’s YouTube channel, and I watched it today. An excellent conversation between Dr. Towfigh and Dr. Lorenz. Anyone on this forum who is principally interested in non-mesh repairs should watch it.

Dr. Towfigh – Congratulations on the 100th episode of Hernia Talk Live. I just watched it on your YouTube channel (as I always do.) Great info, as always. Please keep them coming.

I have been watchfully waiting since my direct inguinal hernia was diagnosed about 18 months ago. At that time, my hernia doc recommended getting with a physical therapist to put me on a program of core strengthening. I have been doing that since then, and my symptoms are definitely reduced.

An MRI, using the procedure described by Dr. Towfigh, should tell you if you have an inguinal hernia, even if it is occult. It did for me.
You could also consider a consultation with a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. I decided to hold off on surgical repair of my hernia, because pelvic floor PT is helping me manage the symptoms well. It looks like you are in CA, and there is a well-known PT clinic there. The founder has been a guest on Hernia Talk with Dr. Towfigh.
