does anyone here have a hernia?

what does it feel like, where is it located and did you have surgery and if so, how was the whole thing? dh thinks he may have one but for years, doctors have brushed it aside, so now he thinks that this could be it. anyone?

I didn't, but my husband had double hernia surgery a few years ago. He had pains in his groin area for years - made it hard for him to lift things or play sports, but doctors brushed it off. Finally he pushed it and had the surgery - they can do it laparoscopically now and he has practically no scars. The recovery period was a couple of weeks where he was in pain and couldn't really get out of bed, but they gave him strong drugs. After that he felt 100% better and was so glad he did it.
