Then someone really ought to tell this guy:
http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/sma/sma_aghernia_crs.htm
Because in worst case scenario he says this can happen.
"The hernia will not get better on its own, but it may not get worse for
months or even years. A complication of a groin hernia is that after the
bowel has pushed through the muscle wall, its contents may become trapped. A
dangerous complication of this trapping is that the blood supply to the
bowel may be cut off and the tissue may die, resulting in gangrene. This is
a medical emergency requiring surgery. " (this is the Inguinal hernia)

and this dude too:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8788858/

He had the operation after doctors found this was happening:
"Joyce had three tears and his bone was eroding. Cattey, operating through
quarter-inch incisions, covered the damaged area with an index card-sized
piece of mesh that he screwed into Joyce's bone. Scar tissue grows into the
netting, strengthening the spot to prevent future tears, says Cattey, who
has used the procedure on several hundred patients."

and here's what happened after his surgery:

"Four weeks later, Joyce played pain-free in an all-star football game last
month, and he's headed for a college team."
