Inguinal hernia, lifestyle tips pse do you keep pushing it back or once a day or whatever? Will it help to only eat once a day? How long does food take to leave your small intestine?

Feels like its trying to enter my scrotum or just next to it

    Nope, i have bilateral inguinal hernias and don't push it back as it won't stay in. my scrotum is just getting bigger gradually but as the hernias are fat-based with no bowel involvement and little pain i am not too bothered. i will have an appointment with General Surgery sometime in 2023 and will elect to have a hernia repair.
