I had a prostatectomy on March 22 of 20222 by Dr Steven Sukin (who never mentioned anything about possible post surgery hernia risk) and developed an inguinal hernia on the left side a year later. I put off surgery for a year with the hope I could somehow "heal" it myself but it just got worse. By the time I had the surgery at Methodist Hospital (Houston, TX) by Dr Drew Howard of Woodlands Surgical Group on August 5, 2024, it had developed into two (or three) hernias with a small one on the right, and the left side extending down into my scrotum area. After surgery the Dr told my wife that there was extensive scar tissue, which, I assume made the operation more complicated, but I remember telling Dr Howard prior to surgery that I had a prostatectomy just a year prior, so he should have been expecting some scar tissue. I felt ok for the first 4 weeks or so after surgery, but began to feel a small inguinal hernia protruding on the right side and went in for an office visit on September 16, during which he briefly examined me and said it was probably just fluid, and that "solid tissue could not pass through the mesh". I wanted to believe him, so I thanked him and left, only to suffer an ongoing and increasing hernia on the right side, with occasional pain on the left. I am wondering what the best way to proceed might be? I purchased a couple hernia supports on Amazon that help some, but I am an active 70 year old and need to get this fixed properly.
