Urologist ? Recovering ? Have you had surgery yet? This won't go away on its own..
How's that hernia looking? Is it reductible? Painfull a bit? More importantly is it REALLY painfull / red / hot?
Here is what is going to happen (assuming you haven't had surgery yet) :
-You will see this urologist in 14 days, he'll say "hummm" that's not really my field of expertise from that point on, I'll refer you to a general surgeon"; that you will see in, you would have guessed it, 2 weeks +.
-So those 2+ weeks will pass and you will see the surgeon, he will say the hernia is minimal, that he could fix it. But, that if it doesn't bother you all that much, that you could leave it like that and make an other appointment in the future if it becomes painfull. Since, unless a few specific things happens or that you have an hernia of a certain type, it is not dangerous.
-You say yes : Elective surgery in 2 months. + 6-8 weeks of absolute minimal efforts in order not to fuck up the repair (...unless you go to the Shouldice Hospital and get a superior stitching of your abdominal wall and etc etc, but bottomline, no efforts for a little while at the least)
-You say no : You maybe live happily ever after, maybe need elective surgery in a few months or years or maybe need urgent repair for a strangulated hernia.
