How've you managed to get a hernia oxford? I thought you had to be really active to get one  

[oxford_fan]

you can get one from exercise, going to the toilet, sex. men get them more often as we've got a weak point in the groin.

I got mine all those years ago trying to push a wheel barrow.  Suppose that's quite a disappointing reason really.

Nothing weak about my groin area mate

Do you have to have it cut out then or do they try and pop the fucker back in?

[oxford_fan]

it's something about our testes forming near where our kidneys are when we're a phoetus. then they move forward to where they are now, and hence we're more vulnerable to hernias.

its a bit of small intenstine that is poking through, i assume they'll push it back in and patch it up somehow.

[yeo]

They push it in and but some gauze type stuff over it to stop it coming out again.
