I will be 60 years old in a few months and I have had my hernia for 10 years
It has become the size of a baseball now. It does hurt once in a while but not often.
I have cancelled the surgery twice because of fear. As long as it doesnt hurt , I will not have it repaired . I dont trust the repair options available , I dont want mesh . I realize it is going to be a large repair.
My sex life is still pretty good and I wont risk losing that until the pain is constant. I used to wear a hernia belt but I quit wearing it 5 years ago
I have read to many horror stories and my 23 year old son had his repaired
He began having problems with pain and discomfort
My sex life is too important to risk
