No one gets a nut cut off. Actually, the reason men have the tendency to have an inguinla hernia is that as an embryo the testicles descend through the muscle mass at the groin leaving a flaw that allows an opening during a strain in the area.

That is what get repaired and that is why a good sew up job will work. Now, I'm not a surgeon, I'm a former surgeons' patient. (Why does that word have the 2 meanings that it does?)

I have reason to believe that my first doctor/surgeon criss-crossed a few tendons to repair the hernia. Sure, it was a mutha to endure for 2 weeks, but if I had to do it again, I'd take his method.

Hernia= any breach in the muscular structure in the body that normally contains other tissue.
