See Dr. Golkar or Dr. Tammy Luk. They are both good general surgeons. I would try Golkar first. Inguinal hernia repair is a piece of cake. I have had both sides repaired with no problems. Mine were done as an "open" procedure, but they can also be repaired using laparoscopy. Usually, the hernia does not need to be repaired immediately. Some people live with them for years. However, rarely, the hernia can become strangulated and will not recede when lying down (very painful). If so, go to the emergency room.
