So a good friend of mine has an asymptomatic inguinal hernia, which is not constricted. Likely from weight-lifting, like a chad. Obviously, surgery is one reasonable option. However, this friend would like to consider non-surgical options that lead to full resolution and still allow him to lift weights (eventually- a break may be necessary). Has anyone dealt with this before or have any words of wisdom?

I just had hernia surgery. Bilateral inguinal repair. Only one side was protruding, but the other side ached more. Surgeon said one was starting there. I had the traditional repair with incisions. I wanted him to be able to see what he was doing so he wouldn't mess up the plumbing down there. It was very easy recovery. Much less so then ankle surgery I had last year
