Thanks.
Today I went to the surgen and he said he could not feel anything.
make me caught a bunch of times and nothing. Could it be a tendon?


If the hernia defect is small enough, it may not be always detectable in
that you can't reproduce the bulge on demand in the space of one exam, sort
of like when you take your car to the mechanic because it's making a funny
noise, but the noise isn't there when the mechanic tests it.

If you get a recurring bulge in your groin, or if you have ongoing pain
there and your description of the symptoms are consistent with a hernia, it
is occasionally reasonable to recommend diagnostic laparoscopy to look for
an abdominal wall defect from inside the peritoneal cavity if the problem
bothers you enough.
