[|Human|] I have bulge in my groin and one of my testicles has dropped down slightly  38 year old male.  Drs, suspect inguinal hernia and going for Cat scan today.  But just noticed green stool also.  Have appt with a surgeon in a week, but having green stool now.  Should I be more concerned now?
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I Cannes, this is obviously inguinal hernia and I don't think this is related to your green stool which may be caused by certain diet and doesn't indicate anything serious. Inguinal hernia should be treated with which is a routine surgery and there should not be problems about it. Also, it would be good to have it done laparoscopically if this is available in your institution since for recurrent hernia, laparoscopic surgery is the most optimal option since it is less invasive. Besides, you should take into account that hernia may become incarcerated in future, so it is better to manage it as soon as possible. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
