I had a colon resection a year ago then had an incesional herna due to the resection.  I am now experiencing pain again on the lower left side.  Do I have another herna?  It has been waking me up at night and right before I have to go to the bathroom it tends to hurt alot.
Thanks for the query. If I were your doctor I would suggest you to take an Ultrasound Scan to conform diagnosis. Hernia is not the only one that can cause lower abdominal pain. A kidney stone, Gall Bladder stone, Urinary tract infection etc. will be having the same symptoms. Consult a radiologist soon.
