Yes it is possible, that it is related to the hernia post-operative. 2. During the operation there is a mesh placed, when there is inflammation infection to the site, similar symptoms are seen.3. When bowel momentum get strangulated there will be similar pains. 4. If you are my patient I would have examined and ask for ultrasound abdomen to see if there is any defect hernia, presence of any inflammatory infective changes, at the same time if any other causes.5. Mostly the treatment of the choice is operative. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
