Got that hernia surgery done on Friday morning. Inguinal was

How'd you get it? Genetics ?

I've been lifting for 4 years and always been a tiny bit worried about getting one. Never had one though.

My uncle is 50 and got a hernia and is prepped for surgery now. He got it just doing yard work.

I've heard it's mostly genetic.

genetics, mostly, though lifting hastened the process. My dad has two groin hernias.

I had a double inguinal repair, and was told to go back to barbells ASAP with the only caveat being "If it hurts, stop."

does surgery make you less likely to get it in the future?

can you do anything for prevention ?

Are you that faggot who posted a thread a week or 2 ago and wanted to basically just ignore the hernia and continue life as normal??

>does surgery make you less likely to get it in the future?
yes but not impossible.

>can you do anything for prevention ?
not really.

>>35083289
maybe. i'm pretty doped up right now

Can someone explain me quickly what is this and how you get it ?

I always thought having strong core muscles can prevent it, but Scooby had a very strong core when he got his hernia
