Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can
Yes, this is obviously inguinal hernia and I dont think this is related to your green stool which may be caused by certain diet and doesnt indicate anything serious. Inguinal hernia should be treated with which is a routine surgery and there should not be problems about it. Also, it would be good to have it done laparoscopically if this is available in your institution since for recurrent hernia, laparosopic surgery is the most optimal option since it is less invasive. Also, you should take into account that hernia may become incarcerated in future so it is better to manage it as soon as possible.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
