I am regularly jogging and doing physical exercises no weight training just plain flexibility workouts. My height is 5 feet 9 inches and weight is 60 Kg I dont have diabetes and hypertension . Do let me know what should I do? Is it something serious. Doctor: Hi, Welcome to HCM, After going through your history,you seem to have inguinal hernia and for this you should consult a General Surgeon, please understand there is no medical treatment for hernia and you should get it operated to repair it if your muscles are weak a mesh of Dacron may be used. Your urine showing RBCs this may be due to UTI, or an kidney stone if there commonly. You can repeat a ultra sonography to see any abnormality in prostate or kidneys and bladder. your surgeon may give course of urinary specific antibiotic for 7 to 10 days, you can repeat urine R&M. Please continue to follow healthy lifestyle. Take care Good luck.
