What Can Cause Discomfort And Pain In The Groin Area After An Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery?

I’ve been searching for an answer even with my own Doctor but he seems to believe it’s over exertion. I had double inguinal hernia repair with mesh 6 weeks ago. I live an active lifestyle and weight training is a large part of my life. I was cleared to begin working out again by week 3, but didn’t start until week 4 going extremely light. I noticed when I did certain excercises, like leg press which I only did once so far, I’d get the feeling like I was “kicked” down there. It’d hurt most of the night but once I slept it completely went away. I’ve experienced this feeling 4 superset times since returning to the gym. It’s not an immediate or sharp pain, is a very slow, onset discomfort that gets very, very uncomfortable. I’m tying to understand what it can be. Is a spermatic chord being pinched? I can’t imagine I damaged the surgery because call me crazy but wouldn’t I feel pain consistently and very badly? Or is it simply that the wound still hasn’t completely healed and any time my core is even slightly engaged it presses the mesh and cause pain
