Could Slight Pain And Discomfort Be Symptoms Of Hernia?

I had two hernia repairs within the last 18 months - one direct and then an indirect one. Last one done four months ago. I have slight pain/discomfort above the direct one. Not sure I feel another hernia or if I just have pain (1 on scale of 1 to 10) as a result of light workout I did a week ago.

Hi,
It seems that due to adhesion formation at the site of hernia repair might give this problem.
If there is massive abdominal muscle weakness or laxity does give recurrence.
If bulging and discomfort is there consult surgeon and get examined.
Avoid lifting heavy weight, constipation and cough reflex.
Ok and take care.
