I’m on KY/TN border. I did ask Dr. Brown about this part of his procedure. It was at the end of his day so he did not comment much. He said it would be ok. I am sure he had a long day. But I was hoping someone whom had similar procedure could comment. It appears sports hernias and inguinal hernias share some repair techniques…which looks like the cord is not put back as deep…again I’m a common person and I may be reading bad info or incorrectly. I wonder how it Feels with external pressure on groin. Example…sex or something heavy being pressed against your groin area. Or can it be felt very easily after repair. Thanks for commenting!

I am not and expert or PHD. That said, please understand any stupid questions. I trust in tissue repairs. I have been dealing with this injury since 2018. I have spoke with Dr. Brown by phone. I tried to edit my post as I did see that some methods put the cord just under the external oblique. (Shouldice and other repairs.) I live in the south eastern area of US. No one other than Dr. Meyers is close to me. I’m not being forced into a quick decision. I’ve been researching since 2018. And had many scans and doctor visits ruling out conventional problems. I would like to hear from someone with a repair that places the sperm cord in another spot. Anatomically…why not put it back in the same spot? If it is just so, well ok. If the cord is exposed prematurely ahead of the “ring” then does that lead to other problems? Has anyone had issues or felt weirdness with cord being closer to skin level…or up a little higher than the usual external ring?

Thanks for helping. I was curious about asking specialists and surgeons across the country if the could help me. Now I know one! This could be a valuable service. -
Dr. Towfigh, yes I went to the closest hernia center near me. It is a university hospital. Doctors here do hernia procedures and a lot of bariatric surgery. Saw 1st doctor with an opening in schedule. He was very blunt. And did physical test of the canal. That was very uncomfortable. He believed no structural damage was present. He ordered MRI and did not read himself, just recited the findings page to me. After a couple more months I requested a visit with the Doctor in the same group that had a YouTube video about sports hernias. He was more pleasant to speak with, but did the same. Read the MRI results and talk about taking Ibuprofen and make the best of it. He said I had symptoms of tapped nerve. My feeling was if I could walk into the clinic on my own power and not in excruciating pain, I’ll be ok with proper management.
My current systems vary depending on activity and strangely my bowl movements. The pains and discomforts alternate which is weird to me. All issues are right side and do not all happen at once. Burning at base of penis, heavy feeling of testicle, aching testicle (like being kicked), tender inguinal area, and very strange crawling feeling moving up/down in inguinal spot. Days with multiple bowl movements leave burning pain in groin. I think due to involvement of Ab muscles helping the act.
PAIN RELIEF…comes when testicles are up tight to the body. It is INSTANT relief, but temporary because they of course drop back down. I get this relief before going to restroom and while swimming in cold pool. Maybe the cremaster is playing some role?
